About Tracy
Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults and older adults who are coping with significant life stressors. Tracy emphasizes self-care and a collaborative relationship where clients feel heard and respected.
She often supports people managing grief, loss, and end-of-life concerns, as well as those recovering from traumatic hospitalizations or living with chronic illness. Tracy also addresses anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to attachment issues and the emotional impact of serious medical and caregiving situations. Tracy uses a mix of approaches to meet practical needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relational patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's goals and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Sessions are conducted with straightforward communication and a strengths-based outlook. Tracy aims to create a judgment-free space and offers honest, respectful feedback.
She works with each person to set clear, achievable goals that fit their life. Clients typically find the process to be collaborative and focused on day-to-day coping and emotional processing. Tracy combines practical strategies for immediate relief with deeper work on patterns that keep stress and pain active.
The approach is paced to suit individual needs and life demands.

Online support
Attachment work and practical therapy online
Tracy uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeating relationship difficulties or strong emotional responses tied to closeness and separation.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's goals at the center of sessions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and collaboration, while CBT gives concrete tools for stress, anxiety, sleep, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tracy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when that matters; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can help maintain momentum between longer sessions or fit into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
