About Traci
Traci White is an Illinois LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with five years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health programs, in-home counseling, long-term healthcare facilities, and private practice. Her listed areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, and a broad range of other difficulties.
Traci draws on trauma-informed ideas to guide sessions. She focuses on building rapport and trust so people can address strong emotions and patterns that get in the way of daily life. She listens for how past experiences affect current relationships and supports people as they learn new ways of coping.
Her work includes acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to help with thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based perspectives are used when relevant to understand relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies are also part of her approach for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
In practical terms she helps people talk through parenting strain, family-of-origin issues, mixed household challenges, and grief. She also supports those dealing with addiction patterns, body image concerns, codependency, and career-related stress.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative. Traci helps people set goals, practice skills between meetings, and notice small changes over time. The emphasis is on clear steps rather than abstract promises.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where values-based choices matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that drive distress and practicing concrete behavior changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and managing everyday stressors.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It is used to understand trust, intimacy, and family-of-origin dynamics that show up in adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Traci will help figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. That process is collaborative: goals and practical steps are reviewed together and adjusted as needed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote conversations and skills practice.
