About Tracie
Tracie Diamond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and other common struggles parents face. Her approach is warm, direct, and practical, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and find clearer ways forward.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills support emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow racing thoughts and build awareness in day-to-day moments. Tracie emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth relationship.
She listens first and then works with each person to pick strategies that fit their life. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward achievable steps rather than long lectures. Her background includes clinical work in multiple U.S. states and international settings, giving her experience with varied situations and life transitions.
She holds licensure in Iowa as an LMHC and also carries LPC credentials noted from prior practice. Tracie provides online care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those formats allow parents to fit brief check-ins or longer sessions into busy schedules.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts your needs and goals at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and adapts the pace and focus to what matters most to you, which helps when parenting demands shift and priorities change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and actionable tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that interfere with daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. It can be useful when stress, anger, or overwhelm makes it hard to follow through on parenting goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, trying different strategies when needed until something fits.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they can, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and allow consistent contact during life transitions.
