About Tracye
Dr. Tracye Herndon offers calm, steady support for people facing money-related stress and many other life challenges. She listens carefully and helps clients sort through what matters most. Her approach focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions to feel more in control.
Dr. Herndon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in the District of Columbia. She uses person-centered work to build trust, then adds techniques from solution-focused, motivational, and psychodynamic approaches as needed. Conversations are shaped to fit each person’s goals and values.
She helps people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and the strain that comes from caregiving or chronic illness. She also supports those sorting identity questions, relationship struggles, and changes at work or in family roles. Practical coping skills and a toolbox of strategies are a common outcome of her sessions.
Dr. Herndon often explores past experiences to understand present patterns and combines that insight with step-by-step plans for change. She pays attention to spiritual and cultural concerns when clients want that included. The work aims to be realistic and goal oriented.
Starting therapy with her involves a clear, collaborative process. She will review prior therapy experiences and help you decide what to try next. The priority is making progress you can notice in daily life.
Approaches that support change online
Dr. Herndon frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on your experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting so you feel understood and safe to explore difficult topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and money-related stress.She may also use Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify mixed feelings and build motivation for change. That approach uses focused questions and feedback to support decisions about behavior like reducing substance use or managing spending patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to your goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone join when in a quieter location. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and daily routine.
