About Tracye
Dr. Tracye Herndon is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. She brings calm, direct listening and practical steps to conversations.
Many clients come for help rebuilding coping skills and finding clearer paths forward. She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on the individual’s goals and values. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in real-life tools.
That can include skill-building for anxiety, strategies to manage cravings, or planning around parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Herndon combines several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful patterns and on motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at how past experiences influence current choices.
With three decades of experience, she has worked across diverse concerns such as mood disorders, trauma, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity-related issues. Her practice also addresses eating and intimacy-related struggles, codependency, and career transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through online formats like video, phone, chat, or messaging.
The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with an appropriate schedule and format.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Dr. Herndon uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions around what matters most to each person, listening carefully and shaping conversations around personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods, track what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That process aims to build a toolbox of strategies the person can use between sessions.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you see nonverbal cues during deeper sessions, phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy routines and different communication needs.
