About Anais

Anais Bailly helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, self-esteem setbacks, career questions, and LGBT-related issues. Anais works in English and Haitian Creole and practices from New York as an LCSW.

Anais uses straightforward conversation to find what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication.

How Anais works

She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps people try different ways of responding. Her approach is collaborative. Clients set goals and Anais offers tools drawn from client-centered work, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods.

These approaches are used to build coping skills, manage strong emotions, and reframe difficult stories from the past. Typical topics include attachment and abandonment wounds, family of origin problems, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care, immigration-related stress, and caregiver strain. She also addresses commitment and control issues, forgiveness, guilt, and fatherhood concerns.

With eight years of practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Anais blends experience with a calm, practical style. Sessions aim to be clear and usable so people can try changes between meetings. She supports parents working through parenting stress and helps people improve communication and emotional regulation.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to therapist availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options

Practical approaches for working online

Anais often uses client-centered work that focuses on what the person finds most important, helping them name goals and guide conversation toward those aims. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, and building clearer communication.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when anxiety, intense emotions, or compassion fatigue get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anais will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to continue work between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools from these approaches to each format so therapy stays practical and usable.
