About Rachael

Rachael Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and anger problems, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday problems that affect work, family, and health.

Rachael uses clear, structured methods that help people name what’s happening and try new ways of coping. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at how early connections shape current relationships.

Her work includes elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when regulating emotions or repairing hurts in relationships is needed. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress, cravings, and grounding after traumatic memories. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding momentum for change, such as around substance use or repeating relationships that feel damaging.

Rachael favors concrete goals and short-term skills you can apply between sessions. She talks through coping strategies, communication exercises, and behavior plans that fit daily routines. The focus is on what you can do this week and next to reduce distress and move toward better functioning.

Before booking, confirm the session formats offered at the time of scheduling so they match your needs. Rachael conducts work in English and practices in Georgia as listed.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Rachael commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits related to eating or substance use. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early caregiving affects current trust, intimacy, and communication difficulties. She also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when strong emotions or impulsivity are present. DBT-based skills teach practical ways to regulate intense feelings, handle urges, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change. Confirm the session formats available before booking so they match your schedule and preferences. The practical benefits of online sessions often include easier fitting therapy into work or family routines, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that reduce travel time. Ask about the current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
