About Bailey

Bailey Delong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping families and parents manage stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, and life changes. She works with concerns like depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationships, and coping during transitions. Bailey uses a calm, supportive manner to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Bailey blends direct problem-solving with attention to each person’s experience.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the family. Mindfulness techniques are added to build coping skills for overwhelm or strong emotions.

Her background includes clinical social work practice in Florida and Massachusetts. She brings three years of licensed experience working with children and families and with people facing eating-related problems and medical fragility. That hands-on work shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are and adapt the plan as needed. Parents can expect clear steps, skill-building exercises, and supportive conversation. Progress is usually a mix of short-term tools and steady work on deeper patterns.

She keeps plans realistic for busy family life and supports small, manageable changes. Bailey welcomes questions about what therapy looks like and how it might fit into a family’s routine.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to a person. It creates space for parents and children to feel heard and to name goals in their own words. This approach helps when families need a supportive place to talk through problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and routines that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, mood issues, and unhelpful patterns around food and stress. Mindfulness techniques are often added to help manage strong emotions and stay calmer in the moment.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family to pick approaches that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and as new concerns come up.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options allow parents to connect from home, use shorter or more flexible appointment types, and keep consistency during transitions. The format supports ongoing skill practice and check-ins without long travel times.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
