About Tracy
LMHC (New York), 10 years' experience. Tracy Rider helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She works with a range of related concerns including attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, first responder issues, and post-traumatic stress.
Tracy structures sessions around clear, practical conversation. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques, existential ideas, EMDR, narrative work, and the Gottman Method as part of her approach. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building skills for everyday challenges.
Her background combines clinical training and long-term volunteer experience with military communities. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). She has worked in counseling roles that involved trauma, grief, and complex life transitions.
In sessions she aims to be direct and steady. Conversations will address concrete problems such as managing panic, responding to anger, improving communication, and handling reminders of past trauma. Tracy may use guided memory work alongside talk-based techniques when appropriate.
Practical matters are part of how she works. Cost varies with location and is set through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How these approaches work in remote sessions
Tracy uses cognitive behavioral work to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, trying small experiments between meetings, and reviewing what did or did not help.She also draws on existential therapy to help people consider meaning, values, and how they want to live. That approach supports conversations about purpose, life transitions, and making practical choices that fit a person’s priorities.
EMDR is used as a method to process distressing memories and the feelings attached to them. In practice that can mean guided memory work combined with techniques to reduce emotional intensity and improve day-to-day functioning.
Tracy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working and adjust over time. The plan may mix techniques rather than sticking to a single model.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises and homework so they work over distance and within a client’s daily routine.
