Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Kathleen Bailey often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection formed in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns influence current bonds and emotional responses; it can be especially helpful for relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client s lead and supports personal growth and self-understanding, which suits people seeking empathetic, strengths-based care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Bailey works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Dr. Bailey can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and fit therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional.
