About Tracy
Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, and parenting concerns. Tracy also notes a focus on blended family issues and other family-related strains that come with life changes.
She offers straightforward, practical counseling that centers on what is happening now. Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning tools to reduce distress, and planning small changes that fit daily life. Tracy uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions.
Her background includes work in community settings, acute inpatient units, outpatient care, partial hospital programs, and private practice. That range means she has experience with short-term crisis intervention and longer-term therapy for ongoing problems. She has supported people with addictions, bipolar and mood disorders, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption, caregiving, aging, cancer, and veteran concerns.
Tracy frames treatment as collaborative. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust plans as needed. People usually leave sessions with a clear next step or a concrete tool to use between meetings.
If you are in a blended household and feeling stuck - whether because of new routines, co-parenting tensions, loyalty issues, or intimacy concerns - she can help you sort priorities and build manageable steps forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed actions toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with life changes, grief, and choosing how to respond in a blended household. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and shift relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when conflicts rise in co-parenting or stepfamily situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
The therapist's original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter room rather than traveling to an office. Therapists and licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency and apply skills between meetings.
