Krishna Bailey , LCSW

Krishna Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a range of life challenges. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work with an integrated concentration in Health and Mental Health and Child and Family Services. Over the course of her career she has worked with school-aged children, adolescents, adjudicated youth, adults, veterans, and older adults, bringing a broad base of practice across developmental stages and settings.

Her clinical background includes work with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, career difficulties, grief and loss, aging-related issues, and adjustment challenges, among other concerns. Her approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Krishna draws from evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring interventions to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Licensed to practice in multiple states and experienced in both individual and family work, she also has supervisory experience. Krishna aims to collaborate with clients to identify practical steps toward change and resilience, and she looks forward to partnering with people as they work toward their personal goals.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Krishna commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their values and make choices that fit their lives. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment difficulties.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change by helping them clarify goals and strengthen their own motivation. Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time to fit evolving needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
