Tracie Harris, LCSW

Tracie Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers a calm, steady presence for people facing difficult seasons. She creates a simple, listening space where someone can slow down, be heard, and begin to sort through what feels overwhelming. Tracie focuses on practical steps so clients can start feeling more in control again.

In sessions she keeps things collaborative and down to earth. She helps people build coping skills and increase emotional awareness through clear, step-by-step work. Tracie uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage anxiety, mood shifts, and stress.

She supports people dealing with depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Career stress and finding meaning or life purpose are also common topics she addresses. Tracie pays attention to how chronic pain, illness, or disability affect daily coping and mood.

Her style is practical rather than theoretical. Sessions often include skills practice, brief goal-setting, and real-world strategies to try between meetings. Tracie also draws on motivational interviewing to help clarify values and make sustainable changes.

With five years of clinical experience in Texas, she brings steady guidance and respect for each person’s pace. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Tracie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new, concrete skills to change them. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first, with the therapist offering attentive listening and gentle guidance to help clarify goals and next steps.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when needed, teaching practical techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills fit well into brief exercises and between-session practice that can be reviewed during online meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracie will discuss needs, preferences, and goals to decide together which methods to emphasize. That allows sessions to shift over time as someone’s priorities change and progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills coaching, phone can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging supports short updates or coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches that feel most helpful.
