Tracy Herriott, LCSW

Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Tracy also supports work on grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

She approaches work in a plain, practical way. Sessions focus on what’s happening now and on small, usable steps people can try between meetings. Tracy uses tools from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than insisting on one path.

Tracy has worked across settings including community programs, inpatient care, outpatient clinics, partial hospital programs, and independent practice. That breadth gives her experience with both crisis moments and longer-term change. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion at every stage.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She and the client set clear goals and check progress regularly. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, practicing new skills, and planning concrete steps for daily life.

Tracy welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and can work with international clients in English. Before beginning, she tailors a plan to a person’s unique situation and priorities. She frames therapy as a process of steady progress toward real-life goals.

How her approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking steps that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship decisions by clarifying priorities and workable actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for stress, mood problems, and practical skills for managing daily challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship conflict and high distress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she tailors a mix of methods and checks in regularly to see how things are working.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. It also makes it possible to work with licensed professionals from different locations. Talk with the therapist about timing and session rhythm so arrangements match everyday routines and technical needs.
