Tracey Boubacar

Tracey Boubacar is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients coping with parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and career-related strain.

Tracey practices in North Carolina and brings a culturally responsive approach to therapy. She pays attention to how prejudice, discrimination, and multicultural identity affect feelings and relationships. She also has experience supporting veterans and people affected by military life.

In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set clear, practical goals. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can include work on communication, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or skills to handle strong emotions like jealousy and anger.

Her methods combine established therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with client-centered listening. The focus is on small, usable changes people can practice between sessions. Tracey frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s values guide the work.

People come to Tracey for help with life transitions, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT related stress. She aims to make therapy clear and manageable, breaking problems into steps and tracking progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tracey works with the client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats were not specified in the provided biography, so confirm available options when booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to arrange childcare. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue skill practice, role-play conversations, and track progress between meetings.
