About Traci

Traci Elliott is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical experience who centers care around practical, evidence-informed strategies. Their practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

Client-centered techniques are woven into sessions to ensure conversations remain collaborative and grounded in each person’s priorities. Traci also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness when coping with trauma, grief, caregiver strain, or major life transitions.

They focus on building motivation, improving self-esteem and confidence, and exploring career or life-purpose concerns while addressing relationship, intimacy, and family-of-origin themes. Traci aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings and experiment with changes that lead toward a more satisfying life.

Practical guidance, flexible approaches, and a steady, supportive stance shape their work. The practice emphasizes collaboration and skill development so clients leave sessions with tools they can use between meetings.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping skills



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client's own goals and values guide the work and foster self-directed growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time so treatment fits the client’s circumstances and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow consistent access to support from different locations. These options help people maintain momentum between sessions and practice new skills in real time while working around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
