About Kathleen

Dr. Kathleen Bailey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and parenting challenges.

She also supports those dealing with trauma, sleep difficulties, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her sessions are warm and interactive. She listens to each person's story and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Conversations are tailored to practical needs, so clients leave with concrete ideas to try between sessions.

Background and approach

Dr. Bailey blends Narrative ideas with attachment-focused work and client-centered methods. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused approaches when they fit the concern.

Treatment plans are shaped around what a person wants to change and how they describe their own life story. Her background includes long experience as a substance abuse counselor alongside years as an LMFT. That history informs how she approaches addiction, trauma, and relationship wounds.

She aims to help people rebuild trust in themselves and in close relationships. Sessions pay attention to identity, values, and the stories people tell about difficulty and loss. The work often focuses on rebuilding safety, improving communication, and finding new ways to cope.

Dr. Bailey frames progress as small shifts that add up over time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kathleen directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approach and online options for reshaping your story

Dr. Bailey often uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work looks at how events are described and helps people separate themselves from unhelpful problem descriptions so they can make new choices. Attachment-Based Therapy is another common element she uses to explore patterns of closeness and safety in relationships; it helps with trust, connection, and repairing strain. Client-Centered Therapy supports the work by keeping conversations focused on each person's values and goals, offering nonjudgmental listening that helps people find their own direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Bailey will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Online therapy with her is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and relational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help with quick check-ins, processing emotions between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options are meant to make therapy easier to fit into daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
