About Tammie

Tammie Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Tammie aims to create straightforward plans that match each person’s needs and goals. With 13 years of experience, she draws on several approaches to support change. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and take actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behavior. Client-centered and attachment-based ideas shape how she builds trust and responds to your story. Tammie has worked across cases involving trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting stress, and chronic health challenges. She also helps people facing intimacy issues, caregiving strain, burnout, and life transitions. The practice includes attention to ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating and sleep problems, and body image. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and practical coping tools you can use between meetings. Tammie adapts conversations and plans so they fit your pace and circumstances. People who choose her often want honest feedback and concrete steps rather than abstract theory. She invites those taking a difficult step to contact the service, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange scheduling that fits their life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions. Online sessions can guide value-based goals and homework that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and practice tasks between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. This decision is revisited as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules change or when someone is located outside the therapist's immediate area. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to assign in-between tasks, practice skills, and track progress so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
