About Traci
Traci White is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with five years of experience providing mental health support in Illinois. She draws on a range of evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. Traci aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She has practiced in community mental health, in-home counseling, long-term healthcare settings, and independent practice. Those settings gave her experience with a wide range of issues including domestic violence, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, depression, and anxiety.
How Traci works
That practical background shapes how she plans sessions and sets goals. Traci uses a trauma-informed stance and focuses on building trust and safety early in work together. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps to change unhelpful behaviors and manage strong emotions.
She supports people in recognizing patterns that keep them stuck and trying new ways of coping. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive and skills-based strategies. Traci also draws on attachment-focused and client-centered work to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.
The aim is steady, doable progress rather than quick fixes. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and insomnia. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating and feeling connected.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Expectations, pacing, and techniques are adjusted together so each plan feels manageable and realistic.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and conversation matter most. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to share brief updates or get support between longer sessions. These options help make therapy fit around work, caregiving, and daily life.
