About Traci

Dr. Traci Fraley is a South Carolina Psychologist (SC Psychologist 957) and an Ohio Psychologist (OH Psychologist P.7369) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices from Ohio and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.

Dr. Fraley emphasizes practical action in sessions. She treats trauma-related concerns and mood issues with methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. She also uses somatic and trauma-focused techniques to address body-based responses and symptoms like somatization.

Her background includes extended clinical work with active duty soldiers, including a decade supporting service members stationed overseas. That experience informs work with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces issues, and people coping after disasters.

In a typical session she helps people identify specific patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice skills between meetings. When trauma or anxiety work is underway, some video sessions are used to support that work. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. She does not accept international clients.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Dr. Fraley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior, trying small changes, and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. EMDR works with processing traumatic memories through guided bilateral stimulation while a person recalls distressing material, often helping with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

She also integrates somatic and trauma-focused techniques for people who experience body-based reactions to stress. Somatic work brings attention to bodily sensations and movement to reduce physical tension and somatization symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the impacts of past events and building coping strategies for current functioning.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then recommend methods to try. Progress is reviewed together and adjustments are made if an approach does not fit.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking because the biography specifies that some video sessions are used for trauma or anxiety work but does not list other formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so people can practice skills in their everyday routines.
