About Tracy

Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of clinical experience providing support for a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also maintains expertise in issues such as intimacy, parenting challenges, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, LGBT matters, and family problems, as well as additional focuses like adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and coping after disasters. Her practice integrates evidence-based methods to meet each client's needs.

Tracy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to create individualized treatment plans. She has worked across settings including community programs, acute inpatient care, outpatient clinics, partial hospitalization, and independent practice, bringing a wide-ranging clinical perspective to each case.

Tracy approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, emphasizing collaboration in setting goals and tailoring interventions. She encourages those taking the first step to reach out and pursue therapy as a way to address life's challenges and move toward meaningful progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Tracy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven action and learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings instead of getting stuck on them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another tool she employs when clients need skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracy works with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve to build a treatment plan that feels workable and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
