Bailey Borup

Bailey Borup is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people through some of their hardest moments. She provides support for depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, and has a particular focus on working with LGBTQ+ individuals as they explore identity and healing.

Bailey emphasizes a straightforward, person-centered style. She aims to create an affirming space where people can talk about shame, guilt, and wounds from abandonment. Sessions also focus on building communication skills and learning ways to treat yourself with more compassion.

She has five years of clinical experience and often sees people dealing with panic attacks, self-harm urges, or patterns of codependency. Bailey also works with concerns around body image, sexuality, and the emotional fallout from substance use.

Her approach is collaborative. She starts by listening to what matters most to each person and then helps them set practical goals. Work in sessions might include strategies for managing intense feelings, practicing new ways of relating, and strengthening day-to-day coping skills.

Bailey is based in California and offers services in English. She supports people who want to rebuild self-worth, improve relationships, and feel more steady in daily life.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online

Bailey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes learning skills to manage intense emotions and anxiety so people can feel steadier day to day; this often includes exercises for breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral changes. Another common focus is trauma-informed care, which involves gently processing painful memories and reducing their hold on daily life while building safer ways of relating to oneself and others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaboration means the plan can change over time as needs and comfort evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make consistent work easier. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed or make it simpler to join from a quiet nearby location.
