About Traci
Traci Doran is a licensed master social worker who helps people cope with stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday challenges like relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, and big life changes. Her style is warm and down-to-earth to make starting therapy feel manageable.
Traci draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to build resilience. Sessions often focus on clear goals, helpful coping skills, and small changes that add up. She pays attention to how values and faith shape choices when that matters to the person.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, and issues related to obsessions, compulsions, and hoarding. She also addresses concerns tied to aging, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and finding life purpose. Traci guides people through forgiveness work and building self-love when those areas come up.
Her practice includes helping people who want to quit smoking or vaping and those adjusting after major transitions. Traci keeps things practical: homework that fits daily life and strategies people can use between sessions. She aims for clear, realistic steps rather than vague suggestions.
Traci is based in Michigan and works in English. With three years of clinical experience as an LMSW - licensed master social worker - she offers supportive care for a wide range of concerns. Readers can expect straightforward, respectful conversations that focus on what matters most to them.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Two evidence-based approaches Traci uses are practical skill-building and values-informed counseling. Practical skill-building focuses on teaching clear coping techniques and steps to manage anxiety, stress, and anger. Values-informed counseling helps connect daily choices to what matters most, which can guide decisions and improve motivation.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That process may begin with a few short experiments to see what feels helpful and then adjust based on feedback.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and have longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or scheduling is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick strategy refreshers, or flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to keep momentum after a session.
