Traci Elliott, LMHC - Therapist in Indiana

About Traci

Traci Elliott is a licensed mental health counselor who centers sessions on the client's experience. Traci uses a warm, nonjudgmental style to help people sort through stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. The first meetings focus on listening and understanding what matters most to the person seeking help.

With 20 years of professional work experience, Traci draws on practical techniques from several evidence-based methods. Those approaches include cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are blended in as helpful tools for building clarity and steady progress. Sessions aim to be clear and straightforward. Traci helps clients set small, realistic goals and practices concrete skills between meetings.

Conversations often include problem-solving, communication skill building, and tools for handling stress and cravings. Traci has supported people around identity concerns, relationship and family challenges, parenting issues, grief, trauma, and substance-related problems. Work can also focus on self-esteem, career decisions, and caregiver stress when needed.

Traci is licensed in Indiana as an LMHC, license number IN LMHC 39002664A, and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist's availability.

Practical approaches for online support and growth

Traci commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Traci listens to each person's goals and concerns, then recommends techniques that match those priorities. Over a few sessions the plan is adjusted based on what helps and what feels doable for the person.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing busy schedules and caregiving demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching and brief skill practice between meetings. These options make it simpler to continue consistent work without frequent travel.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
