Tracy Salazar , LPC

Tracy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, recover from trauma and abuse, manage anger, and cope with bipolar disorder, tailoring care to each person's circumstances and goals.

As an LPC - a credential that denotes formal training and state licensure to provide counseling - she approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her work centers on creating a thoughtful, individualized dialog and treatment plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Tracy emphasizes collaboration and adapts her therapeutic style to meet unique needs and preferences.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward therapy requires courage, she acknowledges and supports that effort while guiding clients through initial steps and ongoing change. Her practice aims to provide practical strategies and emotional support that align with each person's values and life situation.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then moving toward meaningful actions that reflect their values. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and support problem solving; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to help people process distressing memories related to trauma and abuse by reprocessing those experiences in a structured way.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Tracy will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may blend techniques over time to improve fit and effectiveness. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged in planning their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or when travel is difficult. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
