More about Bailey

- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, and I'm particularly passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals in their healing and self-discovery.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your authentic self. I specialize in helping clients work through shame, guilt, and abandonment wounds, while building stronger communication skills and deeper self-compassion. I'm experienced in supporting young adults facing social anxiety, body image concerns, relationship challenges, and the complexities of sexuality and identity.
I also work with individuals managing panic attacks, self-harm, codependency patterns, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. My practice includes supporting those navigating women's issues, impulsivity, and personality-related concerns, as well as those working toward recovery from substance use.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and identity, and walking alongside you as you build resilience and reconnect with your sense of self-worth. I'm committed to creating a therapeutic relationship rooted in respect, authenticity, and genuine care.
Taking the step to seek support takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
