Tracey Byram, LPC

Tracey Byram, LPC, has 27 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. She is based in Georgia and works with individuals navigating grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, and issues like body image or self-esteem. Tracey also helps people dealing with ADHD, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports building a values-based life even when symptoms persist. Tracey’s background includes long-term work with LGBT clients and experience supporting children, adolescents, and young adults earlier in her career. She has also supported people affected by adoption or foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and grief. Her practice has included animal-assisted work using therapy dogs. Sessions focus on what a person needs right now. Tracey blends structured skill work with supportive, client-centered conversation. She can use exposure-style techniques when appropriate and tailors plans to each person’s goals. Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading, hiking, yard projects, and visiting the beach. That practical side shows up in how she helps people translate what they learn in session into everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tracey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out different behaviors to change how someone feels. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand relationship patterns and how early bonds affect present-day reactions. Attachment approaches look at how people connect and can guide work on communication, trust, and closeness when those areas cause stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and challenges emerge. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what will be offered. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling during the week. They also let people continue steady work when managing caregiving, health concerns, or unpredictable days.
