About Tracy
Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults and seniors facing loss, grief, chronic illness, trauma, and stress.

Her approach is client-centered and strengths-based. She aims to create a judgment-free space and speaks with honesty and integrity. Tracy listens for what matters most to each person and helps them feel seen and heard.
In sessions she draws on several practical methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based ideas, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic perspectives. These tools are used to address things like complicated grief, trauma from hospitalizations, long-term illness, and changes that come with aging.
Tracy also helps people who struggle with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how attachment patterns and past losses shape current relationships and behavior. The work often includes naming patterns, trying small changes, and building coping skills that fit daily life.
Her practice includes support for people dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain, cancer, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and end-of-life concerns. If the reader thinks Tracy might be a fit, the next step is to start the matching process and schedule a session.
How Tracy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and support in making choices.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help people who struggle with trust, loss, separation, or repeated conflicts in relationships by identifying patterns and trying different ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and action-oriented. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches simple skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as work progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care while managing chronic illness, caregiving duties, or challenges that make in-person visits difficult.
