About Kathleen
Dr. Kathleen Bailey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah. She helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She draws on two decades of clinical experience to support people facing major life changes and grief. Her manner is warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.
Sessions usually focus on practical steps clients can take between meetings as well as processing emotions in the session.
Background and approach
Dr. Bailey uses a blend of approaches chosen for each person. She often incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused methods help when strong feelings are getting in the way of connection or daily functioning. She has worked in substance use and relationship settings and brings that broad experience to her practice.
That background supports work with addiction-related concerns and complex relational issues such as infidelity or non-monogamous relationships. Dr. Bailey also addresses caregiver stress, aging and end-of-life topics, and first responder concerns.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative approach to treatment planning. Dr. Bailey tailors her work to what each person needs and helps set clear goals to measure progress.

How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current behavior; online sessions use conversation and guided reflection to uncover those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship; that approach guides sessions so clients feel heard while they set the pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed during online meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or cameras are limited. Live chat and messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to work through exercises in writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
