About Tracy

Tracy Salazar is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and addictions. Tracy approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations to what matters most to the individual.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical work. Tracy listens first and then helps set clear goals. She uses approaches that break big problems into manageable steps and that help people reconnect with what matters to them.

Her background includes long-term work with mood concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with chronic health issues, body image challenges, and the effects of abandonment or attachment wounds. This range comes from many years in clinical settings and ongoing practice.

Tracy draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally focused interventions, client-centered listening, and EMDR for trauma work. She adapts these methods to fit a person’s pace and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions aim to help people build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and make clearer choices in relationships and daily life. Tracy understands how hard the first step can be and focuses on steady progress that fits each person’s real life.

Approaches used in online therapy sessions

Tracy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions - helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose steps that match what they care about. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which suits depression, anxiety, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracy will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest techniques that fit your situation. Together you will try different tools and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist will explain available formats and scheduling when you match. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can meet between errands or during a lunch break.
