About Rachael

Rachael Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and other life transitions. She draws on five years of clinical experience to collaborate with clients on practical skills and insights that promote more satisfying daily living.

Background and approach

Rachael emphasizes clients' strengths and past resilience, inviting them to build on those resources as they pursue change. Her practice integrates evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, DBT skills, emotionally focused techniques, and mindfulness practices to meet different needs.

Rachael frames therapy as a partnership in which she offers guidance, accountability, and tools while clients remain the experts on their own stories. She aims to create a supportive environment that encourages growth, increased coping capacity, and clearer decision making as people work through relationship, trauma, substance use, mood, and identity-related concerns.

Approaches and online therapy that support real-life change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, helping clients develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns and early bonds to help people understand how those dynamics influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines clinical techniques with client strengths to tailor a plan that evolves as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible around work and family commitments. These options allow for regular contact and skills practice between meetings, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is necessary.
