Anais Bailly, LCSW

Anais Bailly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and parenting pressures. Anais speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings eight years of post-master's practice experience to her work.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about worries and hopes. She works collaboratively to set goals and find practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on real problems and small, doable changes rather than on abstract theory.

Anais uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and mindfulness practices to build calm and focus. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are used to explore choices and reshape the stories people tell about themselves.

People often come to her for help with parenting stress, caregiver burnout, grief around separation or adoption, immigration-related strain, and issues around intimacy or commitment. She also supports those experiencing compassion fatigue from helping others and those working through attachment or abandonment wounds.

Her style is practical and empathetic. She aims to empower clients to take manageable steps toward a more satisfying life. To begin, clients use the site to match and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Anais often uses client-centered therapy, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and the therapist offers support without judgment. This approach is helpful for people who need a listening space to sort out priorities and feelings.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress-tolerance techniques, and interpersonal effectiveness. These are practical skills that can be practiced between sessions and applied to relationship strain, stress, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Anais works with clients to figure out what fits best. She discusses goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to emphasize and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during a workday break. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while working through midlife transitions and relationship or parenting challenges.
