About Traci
Traci White is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with five years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health, in-home counseling, long-term healthcare, and private practice settings. Traci helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and anger among other challenges.
Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, PTSD, adjustment difficulties, autism spectrum concerns, OCD, and mood disorders. That work spans age groups from children to older adults and varied settings outside of only office-based therapy. Traci uses a trauma-informed framework and pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and a clear understanding of a person’s overall mental health. She works with clients to notice unhelpful patterns and to practice more effective ways to respond. That can include talking through emotional reactions, learning concrete skills to manage strong feelings, and testing new behaviors in everyday life.
Traci draws on several practical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered work. She aims to help people increase emotional regulation, reduce distress, and improve relationships by using tools that fit day-to-day life.
Her practice addresses many related concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy issues, body image, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with life changes. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she works in English from Illinois.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward what matters, which can help with anger that builds from frustration or resentment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses when anger arises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when strong feelings feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT skills for a while, then adding ACT or DBT tools if helpful.
