About Kathleen
Dr. Kathleen Bailey is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Utah. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life changes. She approaches sessions with warmth and a nonjudgmental attitude to help clients take practical steps forward.
With 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Bailey blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses mindfulness-based ideas alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods to help people notice what matters most and build better patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her style is interactive and respectful. Sessions focus on clear goals, real-life strategies, and learning new ways to relate to self and others. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works to make therapy a collaborative experience.
Dr. Bailey has a background that includes substance abuse counseling and long-term work with trauma, emotional abuse, and relational problems. That experience informs how she supports people through grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and complex relationship concerns such as commitment struggles, blended family issues, and non-monogamous relationship challenges.
People who come to her for help can expect tailored treatment plans based on their circumstances. She includes practical tools, mindfulness practices, and relational work to help people manage symptoms, improve communication, and regain a sense of control over daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment. It can reduce rumination around anxiety, improve sleep habits, and make emotions easier to tolerate. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that formed early in life and how they show up now; it helps people change how they connect and respond in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to decide which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist check in and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and doable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in during a work break or at the end of the day. Therapists can use mindfulness exercises, practical cognitive-behavioral tools, and relational conversations in remote sessions, and these methods can be adapted to suit each person's needs and daily life.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
