About Bailey
Bailey Borup is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people through difficult life moments. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma, and is committed to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they explore identity and healing.
Her work centers on creating an affirming space where clients can speak openly. She helps people name shame and guilt, and work through abandonment wounds. Communication skills and building self-compassion are common goals in her sessions.
Bailey also supports people experiencing panic attacks, self-harm urges, codependency patterns, and the long-term effects of abuse. She offers guidance for those facing body image concerns, social anxiety, and sexuality-related questions. Recovery from substance use and managing impulsivity are additional areas she addresses.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions typically involve listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and experimenting with practical steps between meetings. She emphasizes respecting each person's values and identity while helping them build resilience and clearer boundaries.
Bailey brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in California. She describes therapy as a process of gradual change, where small shifts in thinking and behavior can lead to better day-to-day coping. People who value honesty, respect, and steady support may find her approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Bailey uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day coping and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people recognize unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another approach emphasizes exploring painful memories or relational wounds to reduce their hold on current life and improve emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bailey works with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical for day-to-day life.

Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt the techniques above to work effectively in an online setting while helping you build coping skills and reduce distress.
