Tracy Ferezan, LPC

Tracy Ferezan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and issues around identity. She is a queer ally and brings a steady, advocacy-minded approach to sessions. Tracy aims to help clients take small, manageable steps toward change.

She emphasizes practical work in the room. That can look like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, setting short-term goals, or developing coping skills for overwhelming moments. She also draws on methods that focus on motivation and on recovery from trauma when those fit a person's needs.

Tracy has seven years of clinical experience across community behavioral health, residential settings, private practice, and intensive outpatient care. Her background includes work in addiction and recovery and roles that involved advocacy dating back to her teens. That history influences how she supports people facing injustice and discrimination.

Raised in a military family, she lived in multiple states and abroad before completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical psychology. She has made her home in New Orleans for many years and practices in Louisiana.

Clients may notice she wears a dragonfly necklace. It represents adaptability and the hope of a brighter tomorrow, which she helps people pursue at a comfortable pace.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tracy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting small goals, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and practicing new skills between sessions so daily life starts to feel more manageable.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a coaching-style method that helps people clarify their reasons for change and boost commitment. This approach can be useful for substance use concerns, smoking or vaping cessation, or any goal that feels important but difficult to start.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Tracy works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients play an active role in setting short-term steps and evaluating progress together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to attend sessions around work, caregiving duties, or recovery appointments, while still working on practical skills from their everyday routines.
