Dr. Kathleen Bailey

Dr. Kathleen Bailey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship struggles. She brings 20 years of experience to conversations about depression, bipolar concerns, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps a person can use right away.

Her style is interactive and compassionate. Sessions include listening, reflective feedback, and guidance on small changes that add up over time. She draws on a range of approaches so the work fits each person's needs rather than forcing one method.

Dr. Bailey incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally focused methods are used when the goal is to deepen emotional awareness and rebuild closeness in important relationships.

She also attends to trauma, abuse, and addiction-related concerns, and brings experience supporting people with caregiving stress, codependency, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship questions. Spiritual practices may be included if the person wants that aspect in therapy.

People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Dr. Bailey aims to tailor the plan and pace to each person's goals and comfort level.

How key approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust, and anger in partnerships and friendships, and supports building steadier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors. It helps with anxiety, anger reactions, sleeping problems, and repetitive habits that get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with strong feelings, and to use that awareness to change painful interaction patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, problems, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that match a person’s schedule. Some people prefer phone conversations for lower bandwidth, while others choose video to read facial cues; the therapist will help find what works best for your situation.
