Sharon Bailey

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a rich background in social work spanning over 30 years. I have served in various capacities, including as a Combat Medic in the Army, an Air Force Reservist, and ultimately retiring from Active Duty Air Force as a Social Worker. Additionally, I have spent 8 years in private practice before relocating from San Antonio, Texas to the New York area to be closer to my aging family members.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive expertise in academia, mental health, school counseling, life coaching, critical incident debriefing, and group work. My therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered care, where I prioritize the needs and goals of my clients. I utilize a range of evidence-based techniques, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique (also known as Tapping).

In our sessions, I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where we work together to address the challenges you are facing. I assign homework and actively engage in dialogue to ensure progress and growth.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, virtual therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. A major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and the same standards of clinical care apply as in face-to-face settings. If a different therapeutic fit is needed, clients generally have the option to switch therapists at any time. Overall, online therapy offers a practical, evidence-informed way to address many common mental health and life concerns while providing multiple ways to stay engaged in treatment.
