Tracie Gillispie , LPC

Tracie Gillispie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 23 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns. In addition to her LPC credential, she holds a post-Master's certification in school psychology - advanced training that supports work with children, teens, and educational settings - and is a National Board Certified Counselor, a national credential that recognizes meeting standards of professional counseling practice. Tracie has extensive experience addressing parenting and teen challenges, grief and loss, intimacy and family dynamics, eating and sleeping concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and issues related to adoption, attachment, and abandonment.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that each person carries important knowledge about their own life and the capacity to move toward meaningful change. Her role is to guide, support, and empower clients without judgment, helping them identify paths that align with their values and goals. Tracie blends evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance so individuals and families can build coping skills, improve communication, and navigate life transitions with greater clarity and resilience.

Seeking help is a courageous first step, and Tracie aims to provide steady encouragement and practical tools so clients can pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life on their own terms.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tracie Gillispie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and build practical habits that align with those values. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on committed action rather than avoiding difficult thoughts and feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach she employs to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy, communication, and trust. This work can support couples, parents, and individuals working through abandonment, adoption-related concerns, or attachment challenges.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and to develop concrete coping skills for mood, sleep, eating, and anxiety-related issues. CBT is practical and skill-focused, making it a strong complement to her relational and acceptance-focused methods.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracie will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that fit the situation rather than applying a single model to every client.

Online therapy with Tracie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting responsibilities, or geographic distance. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what works best, and access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
