Hello and welcome!
I am Tracy Dowling, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field.
I graduated with a Masters of Science degree from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas in 2000. Since that time, I have worked with children, teens, families, groups, and individuals with a variety of concerns and needs over the years including depression, stress, anxiety, family issues, relationship issues, parenting concerns, career concerns, workplace issues, addictions, and trauma/abuse.
My counseling style is very warm and interactive, and I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Specifically, I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I will help you gain insight into your current struggles, as well as develop strategies and tools that you can use immediately to see progress and make the positive changes you desire in your life. I am here to support, encourage, and guide you along your path. I will be here to help you set goals, measure progress, and assist you every step of the way along your journey.
I look forward to working with you! Have a good day!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tracy is the best therapist I could ask for. She understands me so well and has given me such great guidance over the last few months. I wish I’d started with her years ago!
Tracy is so accommodating and really understands where I’m coming from. She understood what I was trying to say even when I didn’t even know what I was trying to say! She’s amazing
It has been about 3 weeks of therapy. with my therapist Tracy Dowding. So far so good. She listens to me, understands my issues, have started to work on the issues by discussing how to think about them, and through homeworks between the sessions. I look forward to the sessions with Tracy. I feel she is able to help me make long term positive changes.
Tracy has been such a wonderful support to me over the last couple of months. She is helping me to gain confidence in myself and to learn to enjoy my life again. I appreciate her kind and upbeat manner. She has helped me to think clearly with her advice and guidance. She’s playing a vital role in helping me live my best life. Thank you Tracy!
My experience with Tracy has flowed effortlessly. She is understanding and makes me feel comfortable expressing myself. This was my first time speaking to someone professionally, and I am grateful I took this step. Our timeline's didn't line up originally either, but she made time to accommodate me and fit me into her schedule anyway. Thankful for BetterHelp and for Tracy!
She is very lovely and also very strictures and supportive.
I’ve only recently started my sessions with Tracy, but I definitely feel she understands where I’m coming from and she has already given me coping skills that really work. Very happy and would highly recommend sessions with Tracy.
Tracy is great, I feel like she really listens and understands me. She’s very good at pointing out and getting to the bottom of why I feel the way I do and has been really helpful in helping me make progress with my mental health.
Tracy is amazing. She is so lovely, warm, and approachable and I feel I can really open up. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable. She has given me tasks and ways to help my problems, as well as video chatting me and taking over the app. She’s so understanding and I really feel I’m making progress and I’m only on week 4!
