About Traci
Traci Elliott is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 20 years of professional experience. Traci focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, changes at work, and questions about identity and self-worth. The approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Traci creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions emphasize listening first, then finding steps that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Traci uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and test new responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are often part of the work. These help people clarify what matters, break big goals into small steps, and stay moving forward.
Traci also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel intense or hard to regulate. Many people seek help for parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, or troubles with substance use and mood. Traci supports adults with issues like caregiver stress, communication struggles, and rebuilding after trauma.
The emphasis is on practical actions that reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day coping. Sessions can combine short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work, depending on what a person needs. Traci aims to partner with clients to set realistic goals and track progress over time.

Approaches for online support and practical coping
Traci commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address behaviors related to addiction or stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during overwhelming moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Traci will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can mix approaches and be adjusted as progress is made so the plan fits the person's life rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving schedules, and other responsibilities.
