About Tammie
Tammie Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She uses practical, conversational methods to address relationship struggles, parenting concerns, substance use, and changes that come with life transitions. Tammie meets people where they are and focuses on clear, doable steps forward.
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises. Sessions are client-centered and grounded in attachment ideas when relationship patterns matter.
How Tammie works
This mix helps people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful habits, and build better day-to-day routines. In practice, she listens for each person’s goals and tailors conversations and homework to those needs. That might mean short exercises between sessions, learning new communication habits, or practicing mindful breathing for sleep and stress.
Tammie explains techniques in plain language and keeps plans simple so they fit into busy lives. Her background includes work across clinical settings in Missouri and Illinois. She holds LCSW licensure in both states.
That experience informs a steady approach to complex issues like trauma, co-occurring health problems, and caregiving strain. Tammie also supports people facing identity and attachment concerns, body image and eating issues, bipolar disorder, and attention challenges. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and then plans sessions that fit each person’s schedule.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It combines simple exercises with everyday goals to reduce avoidance and build meaningful routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear strategies and practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and managing mood shifts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try a few methods to see what fits. Together you will adjust tools and homework based on what helps you make steady progress and what feels doable in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or a hands-free check-in is needed. Chat and messaging make it easy to send short updates, do quick check-ins, or work through exercises between live meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving duties, and travel.
