About Tammie

Tammie Bailey is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who blends evidence-based strategies with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

With 13 years of professional experience across Missouri and Illinois licensure, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a wide range of life changes. Her approach emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional exploration to support daily functioning and long-term resilience.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed perspectives when addressing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and challenges such as ADHD, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Tammie adapts her work to each person’s needs, offering tailored dialogue and treatment plans designed to match personal goals and circumstances.

Clients seeking help with career concerns, self-esteem, sleep or eating issues, chronic illness, or complex family dynamics can expect collaborative planning and steady support. Tammie frames the first step toward change as an act of courage and positions herself as a supportive guide through that process.

She welcomes international clients and provides flexible session formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Online ACT sessions often focus on practical exercises and daily life experiments that can be practiced between meetings to address issues like anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the relationships among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; therapists work with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving functioning. CBT delivered remotely typically uses structured sessions, worksheets, and behavioral assignments adapted to the client's routine.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current challenges and may blend strategies from different models to create a tailored plan. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the direction of care can be adjusted over time to best match evolving needs.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and across time zones. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, allow for continued support during life transitions, and enable consistent follow-up work between sessions while keeping the focus on skill-building and relational repair.
