01About Tracye
Dr. Tracye Herndon helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or big life changes. She welcomes conversations about identity, relationships, parenting concerns, and challenges like chronic illness or caregiver strain.
She uses a straightforward and respectful style to make it easier to talk about hard things. With three decades of experience and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential, she adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on building practical coping tools, improving communication, and finding clearer ways to meet goals.
Background and approach
She blends talk therapy with goal-oriented strategies so people leave with usable skills. Her approach is person-centered and eclectic. That means she centers the conversation on the person in front of her and draws on methods that fit the situation.
She may use cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful patterns, motivational techniques to support change, or psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring life themes. She pays particular attention to issues tied to identity and life transitions, including work and career questions, LGBTQ concerns, adoption and foster care histories, and aging-related stresses.
She also addresses addictions, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns with practical education and coping plans. Sessions are collaborative and paced to individual needs. Dr.
Herndon aims to listen closely and help people build a toolbox of strategies that fit their daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she frames early sessions as chances to clarify goals and try small changes.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Dr. Herndon commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience so goals can emerge from the conversation; it helps with stress, identity questions, and building trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.She also uses motivational interviewing when people are weighing change. That method helps clarify readiness and increase motivation through short, focused conversations rather than lengthy lectures. Together these methods offer both understanding and short-term tools for moving forward, and she will work with the client to decide which approach fits best based on their needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper discussions and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins and homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work collaborative and practical.
