Rachael Bailey, LCSW, CSW

Rachael Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Rachael centers practical problem-solving in sessions and helps people notice strengths they already have.

She encourages straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way of daily life. Sessions often include learning simple skills to manage strong feelings and repeated patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Rachael also uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Those approaches help when patterns of codependency, abandonment fears, or family of origin issues keep showing up. Mindfulness techniques are added when grounding and present-moment noticing will help someone cope.

In practice she works in a direct, collaborative way. People are invited to set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track what changes. The work is practical - learning new ways to set limits, reduce people-pleasing, and respond differently to triggers.

Her background includes several years helping people manage addiction and grief alongside mood and anxiety concerns. Rachael aims to break down larger problems into actionable steps so progress is visible and manageable.
