About Rachael

Rachael Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She makes room for practical, down-to-earth conversations and helps clients break problems into manageable steps. Rachael uses plain language and a calm approach so conversations feel clear and usable.

Her style centers on understanding how past attachments shape current reactions. She combines ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy with emotion-focused and mindfulness tools.

Background and approach

That mix is aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and feel more steady in day-to-day life. Rachael has five years of professional experience as a licensed social worker. She holds the LCSW credential and the CSW credential and practices in Georgia.

Her background includes supporting people through major life transitions, addictions, trauma, and family-related stress. Sessions often involve learning simple skills to manage strong feelings and working toward clearer communication. She emphasizes practical strategies - breathing and mindfulness exercises, skill-building from CBT and DBT, and exploring attachment patterns in relationships.

The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Rachael aims to help people move from feeling overwhelmed to having tools they can use right away. She supports clients who want changes in mood, coping, and relationships, and she works with a range of concerns related to family and parenting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong responses and supports new ways of relating to others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by teaching skills to change thinking and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around family schedules and day-to-day demands. They also let people use skills between meetings and keep momentum when life gets busy.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
