Tammie Bailey, LCSW

Tammie Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience practicing in Missouri and Illinois. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. Tammie also helps people who are managing anger, addictions, sleep or eating problems, and life transitions.

Her approach blends practical talk with evidence-based methods. Sessions focus on what’s happening now and on small changes that can reduce distress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions.

Tammie incorporates attachment-based ideas when relationships are part of the problem. That can look like tracking how past bonds affect present reactions. Mindfulness techniques are added to bring attention to emotions and bodily sensations without judgment.

She frames therapy as collaborative. Clients map specific goals, try short experiments between sessions, and review what helps. This gives people concrete steps to manage temper, reduce anxiety, or handle grief more clearly.

Tammie notes coaching-style work is also available for career or life-direction questions. Her practice includes concerns like ADHD, caregiver stress, body image, and coping after illness or loss. Sessions are focused, practical, and designed to fit into everyday routines.
