About Tracy

Dr. Tracy Griffith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, grief, and coping with life changes, and has a stated interest in life purpose work.

He uses practical conversation to help people name what feels stuck. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills people can try between meetings. Tracy emphasizes clients' own strengths and choices when identifying what matters next.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered listening that keeps the person's priorities central. He also references dialectical behavior skills when emotional regulation or intense states are present.

People can expect straightforward talk about current problems and short-term strategies to manage symptoms. Tracy aims to balance problem-solving with attention to meaning and direction when someone is rethinking work, relationships, or health.

He notes experience with additional concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, midlife crisis, money and financial issues, and isolation or loneliness. These topics can come up alongside life purpose questions when people are considering what comes next.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed actions toward those values. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and offers concrete experiments to test new ways of acting and thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's agenda so goals come from the client's priorities rather than the therapist's view.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will help you and him decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift during care.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, check the available formats and schedule a first session to see how the approach and logistics work for your life.
