Tracy Herriott, LCSW

Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma and related concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. She works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, and veteran and armed forces issues among others.

Tracy draws on 25 years of clinical experience in many settings. That includes community programs, inpatient and outpatient care, partial hospital treatment, and private practice. She adapts her approach to fit each person’s situation and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.

Her way of working is respectful and direct. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. Together they try small, achievable changes and measure what helps. She uses methods that teach skills for managing intense feelings and unhelpful thinking.

Tracy commonly uses approaches like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These methods are applied in straightforward exercises, skill practice, and real-life problem solving. The aim is to reduce distress and increase meaningful activity.

People who choose her often want clear tools and steady support during hard transitions. She encourages collaboration and sets treatment plans based on each person’s needs. Those interested in beginning therapy complete a short intake and schedule sessions to match their availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It uses simple exercises to clarify goals and build willingness to try new behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective habits. It often involves short exercises, thought records, and homework that fit into everyday life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Skills practice and coaching-style feedback can help people use new skills in real situations.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life to decide which methods to prioritize. That plan can shift as progress is reviewed together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue care during life transitions. It can support quiet check-ins, guided skill practice, and homework review without traveling to an office.
