About Tracey

Tracey Sherron-Spies is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Mississippi who focuses on family and relationship concerns. She listens to what matters most and helps people find practical steps to improve interactions at home and at work. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward, with attention to immediate problems and everyday coping skills.

She uses approaches that look at patterns between people and how thoughts affect feelings and actions.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, real changes that move a family or relationship forward. Tracey has 11 years of clinical experience.

Her background includes training in marriage and family therapy and additional graduate study. She draws on that experience to help clients sort priorities and try manageable strategies between sessions. Her work addresses common issues such as stress, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship and family problems, grief, trauma, addictions, parenting concerns, and self-esteem.

She also pays attention to blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and forgiveness work when relevant. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. People meet her by scheduling through the site and completing a brief matching questionnaire to find a convenient time and format.

How her approaches translate to online family and relationship work

Tracey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that can change how they feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing day-to-day stress.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy which concentrates on small, practical steps a family or couple can try right away. This approach helps when people want quick, achievable changes and clearer next steps.

Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. They adjust plans as real progress and setbacks appear, working together to find what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and can help keep momentum when life is hectic.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
