Online EMDR Therapy for Charlotte, North Carolina
Charlotte is big, and it keeps you busy. Finding a therapist who actually does EMDR and has openings is hard enough on its own. Add getting across town for a standing weekly appointment, and a lot of people just never start. Online, there's no across-town. You meet from where you already are.
Tracey Stracener, LCMHC-S, sees clients all over North Carolina by secure video, including Charlotte and the rest of Mecklenburg County. Everything happens online. There's no Charlotte office to find, because there doesn't need to be one.

How This Works from Charlotte
Tracey is licensed for the whole state, so it makes no difference whether you're in Charlotte proper or somewhere out in Mecklenburg County. You meet the same way anyone would, over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video call. The only thing that changes from one client to the next is the room they're sitting in.
It doesn't matter much whether you're down in Ballantyne or up in NoDa. The session comes to you. No parking deck, no I-77 at five o'clock, no sitting in your car working up to walking into an office. You're already home when it's over.
Does EMDR Actually Work Over Video?
Yes. The research puts online EMDR on par with in-person, and it holds up in practice. The bilateral stimulation happens through your screen. You follow a visual cue with your eyes, or listen to alternating tones through headphones, while Tracey walks you through it. A lot of people actually do this work better from home. You're somewhere that already feels safe, with no waiting room and no drive home after a hard hour.

Support for Charlotte Educators
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is one of the largest districts in the country, and teaching there takes a toll that most people outside the building never see. If you're a CMS teacher carrying that home, appointments run into the late afternoon so you don't have to choose between a session and your students.
Before she went into private practice, Tracey spent more than eight years as a school counselor. So if you teach in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), she isn't guessing at what your day is like. More on therapy for teachers and educators.
Fees and Insurance
Tracey is in network with Aetna, NC State Health Plan, BlueCross BlueShield of NC, and UnitedHealthcare. Self-pay is $180 a session, $215 for the first intake. If your plan isn't on that list, you may still have out-of-network benefits. Plenty of PPO plans pay back 50 to 80 percent, and Tracey gives you a superbill after each session to send in.
