Tracie Diamond

Tracie Diamond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of experience. She helps adults who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people notice patterns and take practical steps forward.

Tracie draws on her background as a military veteran to inform her work with people managing transitions and combat-related stress. That experience shaped her understanding of fatigue, the strain of major life changes, and the need for practical coping strategies. She emphasizes dignity and kindness in sessions and aims to create a respectful space for honest conversation.

Her work blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centered care. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness tools to help clients name thoughts and behaviors, manage strong emotions, and build new habits. Plans are tailored to each person’s goals rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

In session, Tracie focuses on clear skills people can use between meetings. That may include emotion regulation practices, thought records, or brief behavioral experiments. She pays attention to how daily routines, relationships, and stressors affect mood and functioning.

Tracie practices in Iowa and offers services in English. People interested in starting work with her are asked to use the platform’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches can work online

Tracie uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and make sense of painful events and their aftereffects. That approach focuses on understanding the impact of trauma and developing steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening with empathy and following the person’s pace so goals emerge naturally. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change behavior and mood. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracie collaborates with each person to select and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is and isn’t helping and adjusts the plan together.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, making shorter check-ins possible, and reducing time spent traveling. Online work can allow steady practice of skills between meetings and make it easier to return to therapy after a break.
