About Tammie
Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of professional experience. She is licensed in Missouri and Illinois and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes.
She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships. Her work often addresses codependency, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, career stress, and caregiver strain.
Tammie uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people practice new behaviors. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift thinking that fuels anxiety and low mood. She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and build small, steady actions toward them.
Attachment-based ideas guide her where relationships and early patterns matter. Client-centered and mindfulness methods shape how sessions feel - practical, grounded, and focused on what helps day to day. She aims to help clients spot repeated habits and to try different ways of responding.
She has worked across settings for over a decade, which informs a pragmatic approach to real-life problems. People who choose her often want clear steps, direct feedback, and steady support while they practice changes outside sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and making different choices in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines, then practices concrete skills to shift them. It suits stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and low mood by giving clear exercises to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that started early and still influence how people respond now. It helps when intimacy, trust, or repeated conflict are central issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins, sessions that don't require travel, or ways to meet without being on camera. Licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency while practicing changes between meetings.
