Dr. Traci Fraley

Dr. Traci Fraley brings over 22 years of clinical experience to her practice in Ohio. She holds credentials as an SC Psychologist 957 and an OH Psychologist P.7369. She encourages people to take the first step toward help and recognizes the courage that requires.

Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues related to natural or human-caused disaster, first responder concerns, midlife transitions, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and somatization. This range reflects long experience with trauma and related stress reactions.

Dr. Fraley frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical, with clear steps you can try between meetings. When addressing trauma or anxiety, she incorporates video sessions as part of care.

Her approach draws from methods that focus on thoughts, body responses, and trauma processing. In concrete terms this can mean learning tools to manage worry, gentle ways to reduce sleep disruption, pacing exposure to difficult memories, and noticing how the body holds stress.

People who want a straightforward, strengths-based clinician may find her style helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How specific approaches are used in online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Somatic Therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement to help people notice and shift how stress is held physically.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography indicates that video sessions are used when working on trauma or anxiety, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people combine talk-based work with techniques that involve noticing body responses or practicing skills between meetings. Confirm formats and scheduling details with the therapist when you start.
