About Tammie
Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people face stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She keeps conversations straightforward and adapts plans to each person's needs. Her style aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
With 13 years of experience, she draws on methods that help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. That work is useful for mood changes, coping with life transitions, and managing day-to-day stress.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues like addiction, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness. Tammie blends cognitive behavioral skills with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Clients learn short, concrete skills to change unhelpful habits and to respond differently to difficult emotions.
Attachment-informed ideas guide the work when relationship patterns and communication problems are central concerns. She approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are tailored so people can move at a pace that feels manageable.
The goal is to build practical tools that fit into real life, not just talk about problems. Tammie works from Missouri and is licensed as an LCSW in both Missouri and Illinois. She offers work that considers broad life contexts - career stress, family roles, and past trauma are woven into the plan when relevant.
Background and approach: Tammie uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and attachment ideas. That combination supports people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue, and helps when control issues, codependency, or commitment fears come up. She helps people set clear, small goals and practices new ways of coping.
Whether the focus is communication, self-esteem, or managing cravings, the emphasis is on doable changes and steady progress.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice the thoughts and feelings that get in the way of valued action. Online ACT sessions focus on clarifying values and learning small exercises to respond differently to difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. In remote CBT work, clients practice brief behavioral experiments and thought records between sessions to track progress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up in current connections and communication. When relationship patterns cause distress, online conversations help identify those patterns and rehearse new ways of interacting.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions combine skill practice, gentle reflection, and clear steps so clients can tell whether an approach is helping and adjust as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill demonstrations, phone is a lower-bandwidth alternative, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports short updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets complicated.
