About Tracy
Tracy Herriott helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related stress. Tracy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of clinical experience in North Carolina.
Her approach is practical and respectful. She starts by listening to what matters most and tailors a plan to each person.
How Tracy works
Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, along with space to talk through feelings and difficult events. Tracy has worked in community programs, inpatient and outpatient settings, partial hospital care, and independent practice. That variety has shaped a flexible style that blends different therapy methods to fit a person's situation.
She can draw on mindfulness, behavior-focused work, and strategies for building acceptance and commitment. In therapy she aims to create a calm, direct space where people feel heard and understood. She uses everyday language and concrete steps so progress feels understandable.
Tracy encourages people to set realistic goals and track small changes over time. Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as needs shift. She respects cultural differences and addresses concerns related to adoption, blended families, aging, caregiving stress, cancer, veterans, and multicultural issues when relevant.
The goal is steady, manageable progress toward clearer coping and improved relationships.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tracy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking actions that align with personal values. It can help with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and routines, and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time. Clients and therapist check progress together and adjust the plan when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and shared exercises. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
