Dr. Kathleen Bailey , LMFT

Dr. Kathleen Bailey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns - from stress, anxiety, and depression to addictions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy issues. Her background also includes experience addressing parenting struggles, sleep problems, career transitions, caregiver stress, and complex relational situations such as infidelity and non-monogamous relationships.

Dr. Bailey uses an integrative, person-centered approach that combines cognitive-behavioral ideas, attachment and family systems perspectives, and humanistic influences to tailor treatment to each person or family. She emphasizes a warm, interactive style that values sensitivity, respect, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Her practice also incorporates spiritual traditions when relevant to the client, including Christian practices for those who find them meaningful.

Known for adapting therapy to individual needs, Dr. Bailey collaborates with clients to develop practical strategies and deeper insight. She works with people coping with life transitions, bereavement, addiction, and long-standing patterns rooted in attachment or past trauma, and she creates treatment plans that reflect each client’s goals and values. Dr. Bailey aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes and to strengthen relationships and emotional well-being.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Dr. Kathleen Bailey draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people and couples build safer, more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, addiction-related urges, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Dr. Bailey collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans based on the client’s concerns and adjusts strategies over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Dr. Bailey uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or caregiving responsibilities and to continue therapy during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult. The online format supports consistent, ongoing care and lets clients engage in the therapeutic process in ways that suit their daily lives.
