About Tracy
Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with anger, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Tracy also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Tracy uses several evidence-informed methods to help people change patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. She uses practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people notice strong emotions without acting on them impulsively.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotional regulation and improve communication during heated moments. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes related to addiction, relationships, or life transitions. She presents these approaches as concrete tools to practice between sessions.
Her clinical background includes work in community settings, acute in-patient care, out-patient programs, partial hospital programs, and private practice. That range informs how she discusses coping strategies, relapse prevention, and realistic next steps. Tracy aims to set clear goals and to teach techniques that can be used right away.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and any logistical details they need to know.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult feelings and committing to actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of relationships or daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that lead to outbursts or rumination. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in conflict situations.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try a few methods to see what fits best. That shared decision-making helps shape which skills are practiced in and between sessions.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems arise and bring what happens between sessions back into therapy for review.
