About Traci
Dr. Fraley emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and that their strengths are central to progress. She offers straightforward, respectful conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach is warm and goal-focused, aimed at setting small, manageable changes that add up over time.
In clinical work she has substantial experience with trauma, including post-traumatic stress, somatization, and issues affecting first responders and veterans.

Dr. Fraley notes that morning appointments are available. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. She encourages anyone taking the first step toward help to recognize that reaching out is an important move toward feeling better.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Fraley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve sleep. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past treatment experiences, and preferences to decide which methods to try first. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the plan matches what is actually helping the client move forward.
The biography indicates that some video sessions are used when working on trauma or anxiety, but other session formats are not specified. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also combine video sessions with in-person visits when appropriate, tailoring the rhythm of care to everyday life.
