About Rachael

Rachael Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to intimacy and self-esteem. Rachael also addresses eating concerns, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Rachael frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness. Sessions include talking through painful memories, noticing patterns that come from family of origin issues, and practicing skills to manage strong emotions.

Her sessions tend to be straightforward and skills-focused. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of relating. For those dealing with addiction or impulsivity, she blends motivational strategies with emotion-regulation skills. When grief, abandonment, or adoption-related issues come up, she pays attention to how early relationships still shape current responses.

Rachael aims to make therapy practical. Early sessions often map out immediate concerns and set short-term goals. Later work can shift to deeper attachment patterns and repairing ways of connecting with others. She explains clinical approaches in everyday language and helps people practice new behaviors between meetings.

Clients who want a direct, skills-oriented approach that also looks at family roots may find this style useful. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details to match personal needs.

How Rachael Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. Online sessions using attachment work often look at how family of origin issues shape expectations and reactions, and then practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include real-time thought records, behavioral experiments, and short between-session exercises to test alternatives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines skill-building with reflection on past relationship patterns, and adjusts the mix as progress is made.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, provide options for shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also allows practicing skills between meetings and using digital tools for homework and mood tracking.
