Tammie Bailey, LCSW

Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on person-centered and practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She focuses on clear, respectful conversation and tailors plans to each person’s needs. She encourages small steps that build toward a more fulfilling life.

With 13 years of professional experience, she blends acceptance-based strategies with cognitive and mindfulness tools. That mix helps people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice calm focus in daily life. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship struggles, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD. Additional areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and blended family issues.

Tammie works collaboratively, listening first and then offering practical exercises and conversational supports. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented so people leave with something to try between meetings.

She is licensed in Missouri and Illinois and offers services in English. People who live outside the United States may be able to connect, and the Start Therapy button will guide the matching and scheduling process.

How ACT, Attachment Work, and CBT Can Fit Into Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to act in line with priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect emotions and patterns of relating. It can help people understand recurring relationship struggles and build different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then collaborate on which methods to try first. That decision can change over time as progress is made or needs shift.
