About Traci
Dr. Traci Fraley is a psychologist licensed in South Carolina and Ohio with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career challenges, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, somatization, and disaster-related coping. Traci uses practical methods and keeps sessions straightforward.
Her background includes a long period working with active duty soldiers overseas. That work shaped her approach to trauma and to the stresses of high-demand jobs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits that keep problems going.
When trauma or anxiety is the focus, she incorporates EMDR and somatic therapy techniques alongside trauma-focused methods. These approaches aim to reduce symptom intensity and support normal daily routines, with some sessions conducted by video when needed for trauma or anxiety work.
Sessions are structured and goal oriented. Clients can expect concrete strategies, practice assignments, and regular review of progress. Traci sees short-term needs as well as longer work when appropriate, and she offers morning appointment times.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Using CBT, EMDR, and Somatic Methods in Remote Care
Dr. Fraley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then tries practical alternatives to those patterns. EMDR is used when trauma or intense anxiety is a focus; it involves guided bilateral stimulation alongside processing of traumatic memories to reduce upsetting reactions. Somatic therapy addresses body-based responses to stress and trauma by helping people notice physical sensations and practice gradual regulation techniques.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan can change if something isn’t helpful.
The biography notes that some video sessions are used when working on trauma or anxiety, but it does not list other specific formats. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a morning break, reduce travel time, and allow focused work from a quiet space. Some techniques translate well to remote visits, and Dr. Fraley will explain how particular interventions will be handled in an online session.
