About Traci
Traci Elliott is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life stresses. Traci emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach where a person can speak openly and be heard. Clients often come for help with anger, anxiety, depression, or struggles tied to identity and relationships.
Traci also supports people facing career changes, grief, caregiver strain, and addiction concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps the person can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Traci uses straightforward tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. That means listening closely, naming unhelpful thoughts, and practicing skills for emotion regulation and better communication. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are added when someone wants focus and momentum.
The goal is to build skills that fit everyday life. Traci encourages setting small, achievable goals and tracking what helps. People leave sessions with specific ideas to try that aim to reduce anger, improve sleep, or ease overwhelming thoughts.
Traci is licensed in Indiana as an LMHC - licensed mental health counselor - and holds two decades of clinical experience. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules.

Approach-driven care online and in real life
Traci regularly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means the person leads the conversation and the therapist follows, offering empathy and reflection to help clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy adds concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, managing distress, and improving communication.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Traci will talk with each person about their goals, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is to figure out practical, doable strategies that fit the person's life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these methods. Video calls let people practice communication skills and read body language. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can help with quick coaching, tracking progress, or checking in between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit work on anger, stress, and coping skills into a busy week.
