Bailey’s therapy style is relaxed and collaborative, with a high value placed on humor and hope. She is primarily informed by person-centered theory, which emphasizes authenticity and empathy in the therapeutic relationship. She works with clients to identify their goals, strengths, and values and uses these to help guide the therapeutic process. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in an integrative approach, based on the needs and personality of the client. Bailey enjoys working with clients ages 12–18, adults, and older adults.

 

Bailey earned a master of education in clinical mental health counseling from The College of William & Mary. She attended the University of Richmond, where she earned a bachelor’s degree with a major in psychology and minor in religious studies.
