Hi, my name is Tracy Rugg. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing individual therapy in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky via telehealth. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities and approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address issues such as anxiety, depression, past trauma, mood and personality disorders. I am of the Christian faith, and the core of my practice is rooted in Christian principles. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to assist with understanding the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I work with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and mood disorders. I have also worked with sexual and violent perpetrators. My clientele usually consists of individuals seeking to address some form of unresolved trauma in order to live a more functional, fulfilling life. I want clients to feel at ease while in session. It is the client's time. My approach is to create an environment that makes the client feel safe and comfortable. I explain the first session and what the client can expect. I allow the client to ask questions that they may have.
