Dr. Traci Fraley brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work. She is a licensed psychologist in Ohio and South Carolina - SC Psychologist 957 and OH Psychologist P.7369 - and focuses on practical strategies that help people manage stress and anxiety.

Her practice centers on issues such as trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career strain, and coping with life changes. She also has experience addressing first responder concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, somatization, and recovering after natural or human-caused disasters. These areas shape the tools she brings into sessions.

Dr. Fraley uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, and trauma-focused methods. She tends to combine techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts, process traumatic memories, and notice how stress shows up in the body. The goal is to create clear, manageable steps to feel better day to day.

Sessions may include brief skills practice, guided processing, and pacing based on what a person can manage in the moment. Video sessions are used when working on trauma or anxiety so that visual cues and gradual exposure can be incorporated.

She offers morning appointment times and structures work for short-term goals when appropriate. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dr. Fraley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work, and she adapts those methods for online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and teaches practical coping skills useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process traumatic memories in a paced way and can be done via video with careful pacing and monitoring of reactions.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your history, goals, and what feels manageable, then recommend an approach or combination of approaches. Together you will adjust pacing and techniques so the work fits your needs and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows visual cues and guided processing, phone can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited, chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel.
