About Rachael
Rachael Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other life challenges. Rachael also lists concerns such as relationship and family issues, self-esteem, intimacy-related matters, eating and anger concerns, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar disorder.
She uses several practical approaches in session, including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, emotionally focused methods, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can use between meetings. The aim is to notice what already helps and build on those strengths.
Rachael describes clients as the experts on their own stories. In conversation she looks for existing strengths and practical ways to reduce distress. Conversations are direct and focused on problem-solving, emotional understanding, and skill practice so life at home and work becomes more manageable.
She also attends to family of origin and adoption-related concerns where they affect current relationships. Rachael will help people name patterns such as codependency, control issues, or attachment challenges and work on concrete changes. That can include learning different ways to handle conflict, set boundaries, and cope with triggers.
People often come for help after loss, separation, or a change in responsibilities. Rachael offers short-term skill-building and longer-term support depending on what someone wants. To begin, readers are invited to review online therapy options and complete the intake steps the service requires.
How sessions work
How Rachael blends evidence-based approaches in online work
Rachael draws from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps people understand recurring patterns in close relationships and in responses to stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice concrete behavior changes. CBT is used for anxiety, mood concerns, and for building coping skills people can apply day to day.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT offers breathing, grounding, and communication skills that help reduce impulsive reactions and improve emotion regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill practice, shifting to emotionally focused conversations, or mixing approaches over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, not needing extra travel time, or using audio-only meetings if bandwidth is limited. Therapists guide a practical plan for scheduling and pacing so sessions support everyday responsibilities without creating extra stress.
