Dr. Traci Fraley, SC Psychologist 957, OH Psychologist P.7369

Dr. Traci Fraley is an Ohio psychologist with more than two decades of clinical experience. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and related sleep or career problems. She encourages clients to see themselves as the expert in their story and to draw on their own strengths during change.

With 22 years in practice, Dr. Fraley has worked in settings that included supporting active duty soldiers overseas for a period of time. That background informs her work with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and people coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She also helps people facing midlife shifts, mood difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and somatization concerns.

Her approach blends straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She incorporates trauma-focused methods and somatic techniques that connect body sensations with emotional material. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Sessions are meant to be collaborative and practical. She aims to help people build coping skills, improve sleep, manage anxiety, and make career decisions that fit their values. Dr. Fraley asks people to identify goals and then works with them to develop steps toward those goals.

She offers morning appointment times and uses video when working on trauma or anxiety. People who are ready to begin follow a short matching process and schedule based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Online work can use methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in straightforward ways. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through homework and in-session practice; it can help with anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and mood problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that may reduce travel time. The therapist's biography indicates video will be used for some trauma or anxiety work, so confirm the current session options before booking to match your needs. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while people manage daily responsibilities.
