About Kathleen
Dr.
Background and approach
Kathleen Bailey is an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist based in Utah who addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes.
She also works with compassion fatigue and an array of focused concerns such as abandonment, attachment challenges, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment issues, dissociation, hospice and end-of-life matters, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. Her clinical style is warm, interactive, and client-centered, drawing on two decades of practice as a therapist.
Dr. Bailey integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused perspectives to tailor treatment to each person's needs.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels, and she adapts interventions to align with a client's goals and life context. With an LMFT credential and extensive experience, Dr.
Bailey aims to support clients who are ready to take steps toward change and greater wellbeing.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Bailey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work, focusing on how early relational patterns influence current relationship dynamics and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, trust, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt interventions as understanding grows. Sessions often blend techniques so that the plan evolves with the client's progress and life circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients connect from different locations and choose formats that fit their schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods while allowing licensed professionals to work with clients using approaches like CBT and attachment-based methods.
