About Tracy
Tracy Grothe is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical concerns parents often face, such as relationship strain, sleep and eating difficulties, grief, and the stresses of parenting. Tracy writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them sort priorities and take manageable steps forward.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be goal-oriented but also allow space to process hard feelings like anger, shame, or emptiness. Tracy uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws from client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices help with stress, sleep, and staying present during tough moments. Over 25 years she has supported people through career transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, divorce and separation, and the long work of grieving.
She also helps those managing compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and issues around body image and intimacy. Tracy holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner credential. She practices in Nebraska and conducts sessions in English.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

Approach and online therapy options
Tracy draws on client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities and strengths. That approach means sessions start by listening closely to what matters most to the client and then shaping goals from there.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for worries that affect sleep, eating, mood, or daily routines because it gives practical methods to test and change habits.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Tracy will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone calls can fit quick check-ins or people with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied daily routines.
