She focuses on practical, goal-focused work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.

She uses a client-centered stance to learn what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
That helps keep sessions focused on real concerns like parenting worries, relationship strain, career decisions, grief, or trouble concentrating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Traci also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change.
This style helps people find their own reasons to try different approaches and stick with them. She brings a strengths-based outlook so people notice what already works and build from there. Her background includes years of teaching psychology online and in person, and leadership roles in university career centers.
That career work informs her coaching around job searches, career transitions, and work-related stress. She has experience administering neuropsychological assessments and providing in-home psychotherapy in prior roles. Traci practices from North Carolina and holds licensure as LPC and LCMHC.
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on collaboration, small workable steps, and measurable progress.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities, then shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps with relationship concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, and general life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and supports people in testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel uncertain about making changes by clarifying values and building internal motivation. It pairs well with coaching around career moves, habits, and managing ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, written reminders of ideas covered, and flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
