Tracy Herriott, LCSW

Tracy Herriott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction concerns, grief, and trauma. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

Tracy meets each person where they are and builds a plan that fits their life. She listens for what matters most, then uses goals that feel achievable. People can expect clear steps, homework when helpful, and check-ins on progress.

Her background includes work in community settings, acute in-patient care, out-patient clinics, partial hospital programs, and private practice. That range gives her experience with short-term crises and longer-term recovery. She draws on lessons learned across these settings to shape each session.

Tracy uses several evidence-informed approaches. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to address symptoms, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen coping skills.

She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Tracy emphasizes collaboration and helps clients set realistic goals. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she asks for that first step and will work with you to make steady progress.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, impulsive behavior, and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. She uses collaboration to choose methods and adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-ups when problems arise. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone or sessions without video when that better fits a schedule or bandwidth limits. Confirm format details before scheduling so sessions match your routine and needs.
