About Tammie
Tammie Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage anger, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She works from a respectful, down-to-earth stance and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. The first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it clearer and more manageable.
Her work draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize real-world skills - noticing thoughts and feelings, making values-based choices, and changing unhelpful behavior patterns. Techniques are explained plainly and practiced together in session. Tammie has helped people cope with grief, relationship difficulties, depression, and addictive behaviors.
She also supports clients dealing with sleep and eating concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Her experience includes addressing trauma, intimacy-related issues, and frustration or anger that affects daily life. She holds licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - and is licensed in Missouri and Illinois.
She offers sessions in English and is able to work with people who live outside the United States. Sessions can be scheduled in formats that fit a busy life. In therapy she focuses on clear goals and steady progress.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the person needs. Practical homework and short-term skills are offered so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful reactions, which can help with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions and gain confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Decisions about techniques and practice exercises are made collaboratively and adjusted as needed so the plan stays relevant to your life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible and flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let you check in between appointments or use shorter, more frequent exchanges when that fits your schedule.
