About Tracye

Dr. Tracye Herndon is a licensed professional counselor in the District of Columbia with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, depression, and relationship concerns.

She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her practice centers on person-centered care. Sessions are tailored to the individual's needs and goals.

She draws on a mix of techniques to build practical coping skills and new ways to handle difficult situations.

Background and approach

Dr. Herndon often works with people facing life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and issues tied to identity or sexuality. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, eating concerns, substance use, and co-occurring problems.

Her approach blends solution-focused steps, motivational strategies, psychodynamic insight, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. The goal is to create a toolbox of skills you can use between sessions, such as mood management, communication tools, and relapse prevention strategies. She believes building trust and rapport matters most.

Early conversations look at prior therapy experiences and what helped or got in the way. From there she and the client set clear, achievable goals and track progress together.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on the person in front of the therapist. The clinician listens deeply and follows the client’s pace, helping people clarify values and goals. This approach is useful for stress, identity concerns, and improving self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete skills for anxiety, anger management, depression, and coping with cravings or mood swings. Sessions often include practical exercises to practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, past therapy, and what has worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel are difficult. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates or practice skills between sessions, adding flexibility to the therapeutic work.
