About Tracey

Tracey Sherron-Spies is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 11 years of clinical experience. She practices from Mississippi and works with people who bring concerns such as relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, parenting stress, and questions about intimacy and identity.

She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in sessions. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses, or tracking patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented, with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Tracey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy to shape her work. CBT is used to identify thought and behavior patterns. Solution-Focused techniques highlight small, practical changes that produce quick relief. Systemic ideas look at how relationships and roles affect current problems.

Her background includes a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and professional clinical practice across settings. She communicates plainly about goals, progress, and next steps so people know what to expect from week to week.

People often come for help with parenting stress, blended family issues, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation concerns, grief, and work-related burnout. The focus is on clear strategies and steady problem solving rather than long, open-ended discussion.

To begin, she asks clients to name a specific problem and a small, measurable goal. Early sessions map patterns and choose one or two techniques to try. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Tracey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses in real life. CBT sessions often include short exercises, mood tracking, and homework to practice new behaviors between meetings.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, specific steps that move a problem forward. That approach is useful for setting clear, measurable goals and noticing what already works. Systemic Therapy is used to examine how relationships and roles influence patterns and to plan changes that affect the wider system.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to match techniques to goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting the plan as progress is observed.

The original biography does not list session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her about what timing and session length best fit everyday routines and goals.
