About Karie
Karie Bailey uses practical, talk-based methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to support clearer thinking and workable steps forward. Karie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with thirty years of experience and practices in Oklahoma.
She helps people sort relationship and family concerns, and offers coaching around career and self-esteem. Sessions often focus on concrete changes clients can try between meetings.
How Karie works
Karie pays attention to everyday pressures like parenting strain, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. Her work also covers long-term challenges such as adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and adjustment after illness or cancer. She addresses patterns like codependency, dependent personality traits, and communication problems.
Karie also supports people coping with divorce, separation, domestic violence, or the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. In session she uses plain language and short-term strategies when they fit. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and Solution-Focused Therapy identifies small, early wins.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful habits. Karie aims to create an open setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She works collaboratively to set goals and plan steps the client wants to try.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she offers steady support through that process.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many online sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into small, changeable steps.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person's reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation. It can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making new choices. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical solutions and early signs of progress so clients can build momentum with small, achievable goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, preferences, and life demands, then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing encouragement between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
