Tammie Bailey, LCSW

Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. She works in Missouri and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions. She listens first and then helps people decide what to focus on next.

Her practice centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Attachment-Based ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented to make progress in everyday life.

Tammie tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She uses straightforward tools for coping with panic, managing low mood, and improving communication. She also supports people dealing with loss, addiction, sleeping or eating concerns, chronic illness, and career stress.

Clients can expect clear steps to try between meetings, plus room to talk through setbacks. With 13 years of experience and LCSW credentials, she draws on practical strategies rather than jargon. She accepts international clients and speaks English.

Tammie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting when convenient.

Therapy approaches you can use online

CBT helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors feed each other and then practice small changes. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard; it can help with grief, stress, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and patterns, which can be useful for intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Sessions are collaborative - you and the therapist decide what feels most useful and adjust as you go.

Online therapy offers a lot of practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and times when a quick message is easier to manage during a busy day.
