About Tammie

Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people cope. She offers down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Her work is practical and people-centered, with attention to what someone does and thinks day to day. With 13 years of experience, she builds straightforward plans that match each person’s situation. Sessions include talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing ways to manage strong emotions. She explains options clearly and adapts the approach as needs change. Her background includes helping people facing trauma, addiction concerns, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, and issues with eating, sleeping, and intimacy. Tammie also helps people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging issues, and neurodiversity questions such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. She uses several evidence-informed approaches to support change. That can include examining unhelpful thoughts, developing new daily habits, and drawing on attachment and mindfulness ideas to improve relationships and emotional balance. The focus is on what someone can try between sessions to feel steadier. Tammie aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She works together with each person to tailor conversations and treatment plans. The goal is to help people move toward clearer priorities and more manageable routines one step at a time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of being led by every worry. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with sleep, mood, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, which can support work on intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as someone tries different techniques and notices what helps.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice new habits where they live and test changes in real-life routines. Licensed professionals tailor their recommendations so sessions fit into your schedule and daily life.
