About Rachael
Rachael Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience based in Georgia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar mood challenges.
Rachael approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people manage difficult thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing also appear in her work when they fit a person’s goals.
Sessions tend to focus on naming often-hard-to-identify emotions and tracing how these feelings shape relationship patterns and personal choices. She helps people notice unhelpful cycles, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of responding to stress and urges. Practical tools for coping with cravings, distress, and intense feelings are part of the plan when relevant.
Rachael also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, codependency, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, dissociation, and problems with communication or control. She can address career strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions alongside clinical concerns.
Her training is listed as LCSW and CSW. Sessions are offered in English. Prospective clients should confirm the current session formats before booking.
How Rachael combines approaches for online work
Rachael uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and understand intense emotions and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on how feelings shape relationships and personal responses, and can help when emotions are hard to identify or express.She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current reactions and connections. This approach helps people notice repeated patterns and consider new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of EFT, attachment work, CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness based on what someone needs and what feels helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
