About Traci
Traci Klasing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 18 years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, grief, and life changes. Traci also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus and accepts international clients. Sessions and goal-setting are collaborative, with attention to practical steps clients can take between meetings.
Before moving into private practice, Traci worked in university career services for nine years as a director and internship coordinator. That background informs her work with career and transition concerns and the practical coaching she offers around job searches and vocational choices. She has also administered neuropsychological assessments and provided in-home therapy earlier in her career.
Traci teaches psychology coursework both online and in person and has done so for over two decades. That teaching experience contributes to clear explanations of counseling ideas and to structuring sessions so people can build skills and track progress. She describes therapy as a collaborative process with shared goal-setting.
Her clinical approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. In practice she listens, helps clients identify patterns that keep problems going, and works on concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. This mix is used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and motivation around career or parenting shifts.
Traci has served as a licensure supervisor in Missouri and has experience mentoring other counselors. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Kansas and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University.
How her approaches translate to online work
Traci combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective so goals can be set together. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps untangle mixed feelings about change and supports commitment to specific steps forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work in sessions. Traci will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift as problems change or progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time for appointments. They also let a person continue work on career, parenting, or blended household challenges from different locations. Licensed professionals using these approaches aim to help clients build skills, track progress, and apply changes between sessions.
