About Tammie
Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and anger. She also addresses issues like addiction, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions.
Tammie uses straightforward conversation to figure out what is causing day-to-day distress. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns of thinking and reacting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) also informs how she helps clients make clearer choices that align with their values.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills that can be used between meetings. That might mean noticing automatic thoughts, trying a short mindfulness practice, or planning a small behavior change to test what works. She explains tools plainly and checks in about how they fit into the client’s life.
Tammie also pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics when those patterns affect mood or anger. She talks through how past and present connections influence reactions to stress. This often helps people repair communication and reduce resentment.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She will work with each person to set concrete steps and measure progress. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so practical goals can be set and a plan agreed upon.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect what matters most. This approach can help with anger that builds from avoidance or rigid thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers specific skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger that follows automatic negative thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for staying present and lowering reactivity, which can reduce snapping or escalating arguments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean trying CBT tools for a few sessions, adding mindfulness practices, or using ACT exercises to clarify values. Progress is revisited and the plan is adjusted together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during the day, or remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use a mix of conversation, skill practice, and between-session tasks to keep progress moving even when meetings happen remotely.
