Traci White

Traci White is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with five years of practice in Illinois. She has worked in community mental health programs, provided in-home counseling, supported people in long-term healthcare settings, and maintained a private practice. Traci aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and understood.

Traci uses a trauma-informed stance to help people make sense of their mental health. She focuses on building trust and safety first. From that base, she helps clients notice patterns that lead to painful emotions and habits, and then try different ways of responding.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with anger, parenting stress, career changes, body image, and blended family challenges. Traci has experience with problems that often occur together, such as co-morbidity and dissociation.

Traci pulls from several practical approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma is central, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. She blends these with attachment-focused and client-centered ways of working when appropriate.

Traci invites people to explore small shifts that add up over time. She emphasizes listening first, then working together on goals that fit daily life and real-world demands. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Traci commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address memories and reactions from past harm, helping people reduce the hold those experiences have on daily life. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Traci will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She listens to goals and preferences, then combines techniques that fit the person's needs and pace.

Please confirm current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or remove travel time. It also lets people try approaches like trauma-focused work, ACT, or CBT in regular appointments while keeping therapy aligned with daily routines.
