About Tracy
Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. Her approach is practical and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent.
Tracy works with individuals who are coping with life changes, addiction, intimacy issues, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with family problems, caregiving strain, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and issues tied to aging or illness.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in community settings, acute inpatient care, outpatient services, partial hospital programs, and independent practice. That range gives her experience with both short-term goals and longer-term recovery plans. She draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals, skills practice, and real-life problem solving. Tracy uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance-based work, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Conversations often include skill building, values clarification, and steps to reduce distress in daily life.
She pays attention to cultural and life-stage differences and treats people with sensitivity and compassion. Tracy tailors treatment plans to each client’s situation and priorities. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and supportive.

Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps you clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and when life changes make choices feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can reduce conflict and improve daily coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then recommend strategies to try. That collaborative decision making means methods can be adjusted as you progress or as situations change.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy parents and people with varied schedules. Video lets you work face to face for skills practice, phone can be a quick check-in or better when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short real-time exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between meetings.
