About Tracy
Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those facing grief, caregiving strain, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and concerns tied to adoption and foster care.
Tracy works with individuals and couples who want practical tools and steady support. She draws on therapies that teach skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. Sessions are aimed at clear goals you agree on together, with straightforward strategies to try between meetings.
Her background includes community clinics, hospital settings, outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, and private practice work. That range means she has experience across short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. She says each plan is shaped to fit what a person actually needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
In the room she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She mixes approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, dialectical behavior skills, and motivational interviewing to match the problem at hand. Tracy invites clients to move toward their goals at a pace they can manage.
Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative step. She encourages people to name specific concerns and goals so sessions focus on real-life change. Her aim is steady progress and practical ways to cope with life’s challenges.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life feels out of balance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to difficult feelings and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness in stressful relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean mixing skill training, mindfulness practices, and values-based exercises over several sessions.

They can also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well across different session setups.
