About Tracy
Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience. She works primarily with adults and seniors on concerns such as loss, grief, end-of-life issues, chronic illness, trauma, and PTSD. Tracy also helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and ADHD.
Tracy approaches therapy in a client-centered way. She uses practical methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy to help people name what feels wrong and try different ways of responding. Sessions are direct and straightforward, with an emphasis on strengths and what someone can do next.
Many people come to her with medical or caregiving stress. She often sees clients coping with traumatic hospitalizations, chronic pain or illness, cancer, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also works with people dealing with complicated grief, abandonment, attachment issues, and problems that arise around sexuality and kink culture.
Tracy pays attention to how past relationships and life events affect day-to-day feelings. She uses psychodynamic ideas to trace patterns and Attachment-Based approaches to address relationship-related concerns. Narrative strategies are used to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves.
Her style is honest and transparent. She aims for clear communication and practical steps rather than long theory talks. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can decide if the approach fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help identify patterns in close relationships and practice different responses when similar situations arise. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience, listening carefully and reflecting what is noticed to help clarify goals and next steps. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking in, and adjusting over time rather than committing to a single technique up front. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing commute time or allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue care while managing medical appointments, caregiving duties, or work obligations. Discussing practical considerations early helps make sessions more useful and easier to keep in a weekly routine.Areas of expertise
