About Traci
Traci Doran is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what’s causing the struggle. Traci helps people identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and clarify what matters next. She also focuses on issues that often accompany life transitions, such as communication problems, social anxiety, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
Her background includes work with older adults and people facing caregiver or end-of-life challenges. Traci offers support for those dealing with hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and the stresses of caregiving. She also speaks with people who want to explore life purpose and deepen self-love in day-to-day life.
Sessions address concrete skills like improving communication, managing intense emotions, and steps for smoking or vaping cessation when relevant. Traci respects clients' values and can incorporate faith-aligned perspectives when requested. Her approach tends toward practical strategies people can use between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Two evidence-based techniques she uses are skills-focused work and values clarification. Skills-focused work teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, and stress so people can try them between sessions. Values clarification helps someone identify what matters most now, which can guide decisions during career or relationship changes.She also uses problem-solving methods that break larger life changes into small, manageable steps. This helps when facing caregiving duties, major transitions, or quitting smoking or vaping by creating a sequence of realistic actions to follow.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then test methods to find what fits best. That process can change over time as priorities shift.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when days are tight, or removing the need to be on camera during some sessions. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can match your routine.
