About Tracy
Tracy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, and grief. She also supports people with intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Tracy favors straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that began in the family of origin and how those patterns show up now. She listens for repeating roles, expectations, and ways of handling conflict, and then helps people notice alternatives they can try in daily life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, along with client-centered work and EMDR when appropriate. That mix lets her use practical exercises, thought pattern work, and emotion-focused conversation as needed.
Tracy aims to keep the work concrete. Expect clear goals, short exercises to try between sessions, and regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helping. She recommends discussing family-of-origin patterns early, to see how childhood dynamics affect current relationships and choices.

How Tracy uses ACT, CBT, and EMDR in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small steps toward a life that matters to the person. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone stuck and they want clearer actions tied to what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical experiments and thought records to test unhelpful beliefs and build different reactions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with disturbing memories and the body’s reactions to them. When appropriate, it can be used to reduce the intensity of specific upsetting memories or sensations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining approaches when it makes sense.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques for remote work, and the therapist will explain how exercises and between-session tasks will be handled during the first meetings.
