Tracey Boubacar, LCSW

Tracey Boubacar is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience in helping people through emotional and relational challenges. She practices in North Carolina and focuses on straightforward, practical work that parents and busy adults can use. Her style is warm and respectful, with attention to cultural background and life experiences.

She helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and addictions. Relationship issues like jealousy and infidelity are part of her practice, as are concerns around parenting and career stress. Tracey also supports those affected by prejudice, multicultural pressures, and veteran or armed forces issues.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. Sessions focus on practical skills, clear goals, and small experiments people can try between meetings. She uses language that parents and busy professionals can understand.

Tracey aims to build a collaborative plan for each person she sees. That plan can include coping skills for mood and stress, communication strategies for relationships, and approaches for rebuilding trust after infidelity. She explains options plainly and adjusts pace to what feels manageable.

People who come to her can expect a steady, culturally aware presence that notices strengths as well as struggles. Tracey works to make therapy useful for day-to-day life while addressing deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.

Approaches that guide online work and real-life change

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, respectful space where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tracey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend strategies drawn from these approaches. The process is collaborative, and adjustments are made as needs and goals change over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports shorter exchanges or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
