About Rachael
Rachael Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, depression, and shifts in life direction. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit everyday life. She believes clients know their story best and brings steady support as they make changes.
Rachael blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-informed work to look at how emotions and connection shape behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are woven in to build awareness and small, manageable habits. Her approach starts with clear goals and simple tools you can try between sessions. She listens for patterns connected to family of origin, abandonment, attachment, and codependency and helps people untangle those threads.
Sessions often include skill practice, gentle tracking of progress, and check-ins about what’s working. Rachael draws on five years of practice as a LCSW and CSW licensed in Georgia. That experience includes supporting people through trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and substance use challenges.
She also addresses issues like impulsivity, guilt, and forgiveness. She offers practical guidance for career stress, compassion fatigue, and navigating divorce or separation. People who want a collaborative, emotion-focused process that also uses concrete coping skills may find her style helpful.

Online support
How emotion-focused and online work fit together
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect behavior and relationships. It can be useful when emotional patterns feel stuck or when grief, shame, or abandonment themes keep coming up. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they shape current reactions; it aims to strengthen a sense of safety in relationships and reduce reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Each approach offers concrete skills you can try between sessions and simple ways to track progress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose strategies based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as issues evolve.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video can allow face-to-face conversation for emotion-focused work, phone calls can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or coaching-style support. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people keep consistent contact during life changes.
