About Tracie

Tracie Diamond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices in Iowa and helps adults coping with substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and trauma. Tracie draws on her experience across several U.S. states and overseas to inform her approach.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help people recognize thought patterns, manage strong emotions, and try different behaviors. Meetings focus on concrete skills and real-life application rather than theory alone.

Tracie aims to reduce harmful thinking and increase day-to-day coping. She guides people through steps to lower reactivity and practice new responses to old problems. Work can include behavioral experiments, coping skills practice, and attention training exercises.

Her background includes time working with service members and veterans, and she draws from that experience when helping people navigate stress, transitions, and trauma-related reactions. The clinical tools she uses are intended to support recovery from substance concerns and to ease persistent anxiety and low mood.

Sessions move at a steady pace, with clear goals set between meetings. People can expect a mix of skills work and reflective conversation aimed at building more reliable ways of responding to stress and relationship strain.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Tracie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts. That work often involves setting small behavioral experiments and homework between sessions to try new responses to stress and anxiety.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills are practical tools for managing intense feelings and improving boundary-setting in relationships.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative effort. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful. They adjust the mix of skills work, thought restructuring, and mindfulness exercises as they go.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online options can help fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about which ways of working would best match daily routines and the goals you bring to therapy.
