About Tracey
Tracey Sherron-Spies is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and life transitions. She is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Tracey aims to create a space where clients can be heard and work toward clear, practical change.
With eleven years of experience, Tracey draws on straightforward methods that focus on what clients want to change.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, realistic goals and build on what is already working. Systemic Therapy helps identify patterns in relationships and family interaction that keep problems going.
Tracey combines these approaches in a collaborative way. She listens first, then suggests steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions tend to emphasize practical tools, clearer communication, and realistic problem solving rather than lengthy interpretation.
She works with adults facing concerns like parenting stress, blended family issues, career strain, compassion fatigue, and the emotional impact of divorce or infidelity. Tracey also addresses multicultural concerns, women’s issues, and challenges common in young adults. Based in Mississippi, Tracey offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and licensure as an LMFT. She balances clinical knowledge with an emphasis on everyday changes that make life easier.
How approaches like CBT and Systemic Therapy work online
Tracey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises, thought records, and practical practice that translate well to video or messaging formats.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and build momentum quickly. That method emphasizes strengths and steps clients can try between sessions, which suits brief check-ins by phone or chat as well as longer video sessions.
Systemic Therapy helps identify patterns in relationships and family interaction that affect an individual's well-being. When needed, systemic ideas are used to map communication patterns and rehearse different responses, which can be discussed in any online format.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, then suggest a path to try. Plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so the work stays practical and focused on what matters most.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help fit therapy into real life and keep momentum between sessions.
