About Traci
Traci White is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with five years of clinical experience in a range of settings, including community mental health programs, in-home counseling, long-term healthcare, and independent practice in Illinois.
Background and approach
She has worked with people facing trauma, domestic violence, PTSD, adjustment challenges, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, OCD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, drawing on that varied background to inform individualized care. Her practice is trauma-informed and aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their mental health and build coping skills.
Traci emphasizes trust and safety as foundations for change, guiding clients toward understanding and shifting patterns that maintain distress. Grounded in empathy and collaborative care, she supports clients as they work toward greater resilience, clarity, and meaningful growth.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Traci integrates cognitive behavioral work with acceptance-based and attachment-informed perspectives to guide online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values, practice psychological flexibility, and develop acceptance-based skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that shape emotional responses and can be useful for addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and family of origin concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor interventions from these evidence-informed approaches to best support progress over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from varied locations while allowing the therapist and client to adapt pace and tools to what works best for the individual.
