About Rachael
Rachael Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Rachael also lists relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes among the areas she addresses.
Rachael says she views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps clients set clear, manageable steps. Conversations focus on daily patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better.
Her work draws from practical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses attachment-based ideas and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when problems involve intense emotions or relationship strain. These approaches are used to teach skills for coping, communication, and emotional regulation.
Rachael draws on past roles supporting people through loss, addiction, and trauma to inform how she plans sessions. She pays attention to safety and pacing, and she checks in about what feels useful each week. Sessions include skill practice, reflection, and planning small experiments to try between meetings.
Rachael offers sessions in English and works from Georgia. People who want to try online services should confirm the current session options before booking. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. In online sessions this can mean talking through relationship examples, mapping where emotions come from, and trying new ways of relating in small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often includes short exercises in session, thought records, and specific practice tasks to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interactions with others. That can look like short coaching on grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and role-played communication during a video or phone meeting.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match needs, goals, and personal preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is observed. Clients are involved in choosing which skills to learn and how to use them in everyday life.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and permit phone or video choices that suit comfort with cameras or bandwidth limits. These practical benefits help people use therapy alongside work, school, and family tasks without promising a specific outcome.
