About Tracie
Tracie Diamond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices in Iowa and focuses on adult concerns such as substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and relationship strain.
She spent part of her career working across several states and settings, including time supporting people connected to military life. That background informs how she talks about transitions, stress, and fatigue after major life changes. Tracie uses straightforward language and practical methods in sessions.
Her work brings together Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. In practice this looks like helping people notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and build emotion regulation skills.
Sessions tend to cover immediate coping skills as well as longer-term patterns that keep problems returning. She also addresses issues often linked with family and parenting concerns, such as blended family problems, communication difficulties, codependency, and abandonment issues.
Clients can expect focused conversations that aim to clarify goals and create concrete steps forward. Tracie prioritizes clear explanations of techniques and simple homework when it helps progress. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing day-to-day functioning.
How sessions work
How Tracie uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to help them clarify goals and priorities. It is useful when someone needs a steady conversational space to sort out emotions and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems down into small parts and suggests practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and some eating and sleeping concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be helpful for anger, relationship conflict, and managing strong urges related to addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracie will collaborate with clients to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying a skill-based technique for a few sessions and then adjusting the plan as needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for many people. Talk with her during the intake step about what session length and rhythm would fit your daily life best.
