About Traci

Traci White is an Illinois-based licensed clinician (LCPC) with five years of direct practice across community mental health, in-home counseling, long-term care settings, and independent practice.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing a wide range of challenges including trauma, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, mood and anxiety disorders, domestic violence, and adjustment difficulties. Her clinical background includes work with both individuals and families in varied care settings, which informs a flexible, experience-driven approach to treatment.

Traci emphasizes a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes building safety and trust. She helps clients deepen understanding of their mental health, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop skills to manage difficult emotions and behaviors.

Traci frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on growth, resilience, and reconnecting with sources of meaning. She brings warmth and respect to each session and values establishing strong rapport as a foundation for lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

The clinician integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients address patterns and symptoms in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept uncomfortable internal experiences while committing to meaningful changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss client goals, preferences, and presenting concerns to tailor a plan, often combining methods so the treatment fits each person's needs rather than following a single prescribed path.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations in Illinois. These formats can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain consistency with sessions, while still focusing on practical skills, processing, and relationship-building with a licensed professional.
