About Bailey
Bailey Borup is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, and she offers particular support for LGBTQ individuals navigating identity and relationships.
Bailey focuses on clear, practical work. She helps people notice patterns like codependency, people-pleasing, and trouble setting boundaries. Sessions often involve naming painful feelings such as shame, guilt, and abandonment and learning small, concrete skills to respond differently.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Bailey explains options, listens for what matters to each person, and helps set short-term goals for safety and stability. She also supports people working on body image, panic attacks, self-harm histories, and substance use recovery.
She pays attention to how communication patterns and impulsivity affect daily life. That can mean practicing ways to say no, rehearse conversations, or reduce intense reactivity. Bailey also works with issues around sexuality and the social pressures that affect LGBTQ people.
When people come in feeling isolated or overwhelmed, she starts with small, manageable steps. Early sessions often focus on reducing immediate distress and identifying one or two changes that are realistic. Over time the work can shift toward building a clearer sense of self and steadier emotional footing.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Bailey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people recognize and interrupt unhelpful patterns like codependency or people-pleasing by identifying triggers and practicing alternative responses. This work is useful for reducing reactive behavior and improving everyday choices.Another approach emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and panic symptoms. That involves short, teachable tools for grounding, breathing, and reducing escalation so daily life feels more manageable. These techniques are commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, and trauma responses.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. Bailey collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She reviews options, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan based on what actually works for the individual.
Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time, allow a quicker check-in during a work break, or avoid being on camera when they prefer shorter audio check-ins. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to the time and setting you have, helping you apply skills between sessions.
