- LMHC
My name is Michelle Bailey. I am a United States Navy Veteran. I have been in the field of mental health for over 15 years. I earned a Doctoral degree in education and a Master’s degree in counseling. I hold a Florida license in mental health MH8624 which has opened doors to assist many clients and their families by imparting knowledge in ways that meet the needs of clients, their families, and the community in which they reside. I specialized in working with adults in the area of mental and emotional issues to include traumatic experiences, substance use, mood disorders/ anxiety, loss and grief issues and adjustment concerns. I believe in the power of cognitive behavioral therapy and a holistic approach learning how to reconnect ourselves to our natural state of well-being while exploring healthier ways of coping with whatever life hands us in the present moment. Sometimes, just experiencing the present moment and being heard we can remove the overwhelming stressful, mental blocks in order to experience our best life possible. I can assist in helping to improve your healthy ability to cope with life stressors. I am truly, dedicated and honored to collaboratively assist in enhancing your life. In my free time I enjoy dancing, traveling, laughing, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Awesome!
Dr. Bailey is awesome, I really appreciate her support.
Dr. Bailey is the most thorough, professional therapist I have interacted with. From our sessions, I can tell she has a genuine concern for her clients. She is patient, understands how to guide the sessions, and calmly and empathetically responds to any story or issue I bring up. She also does a great job in translating any issue I bring up to action-oriented goals that can bring me closer to who I aspire to be more of. I would highly recommend her!
Dr. Bailey provided excellent couples therapy for my partner and I. As a testament to her skill-set, I switched to her for my individual therapy needs. She is solutions-focused and goal-oriented.
I've just been working with her for a couple of weeks now, and I really like her! She has somehow listened to all of my tangled mess of concerns for myself and was able to unweave them and categorize them into goals I need to accomplish. I look forward to bettering myself with her support. :)
