Bailey Borup

Bailey Borup is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people through difficult life moments. She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. Bailey has a particular commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they explore identity and healing.

She creates an affirming space where people can talk about shame, guilt, and abandonment wounds. Sessions often center on building clearer communication and stronger self-compassion. Bailey works with people facing panic attacks, self-harm urges, codependency, and substance use recovery.

Many clients come for help with body image, social anxiety, and questions about sexuality. She also supports people dealing with isolation, impulsivity, and persistent personality-related challenges. Her work includes addressing domestic violence and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse.

Bailey’s style is collaborative and person-centered. She aims to meet each person where they are and honor their values and identity. The focus is on small, practical steps that add up to more resilience and a steadier sense of self-worth.

She brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and holds a California LCSW license. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions depending on the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Bailey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a way that feels practical and relevant. One common approach she employs focuses on building emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce panic, manage anxiety, and handle impulsivity. This work teaches step-by-step strategies for calming the body and changing unhelpful patterns.

Another key strand of her practice emphasizes processing trauma and the effects of abuse through paced, supportive work. This helps people make sense of painful memories and slowly reclaim a sense of safety and control in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bailey will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and will adapt techniques accordingly. The aim is to try methods that fit the person rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for regular check-ins during periods of high stress. It also gives options when someone prefers a quieter or less camera-heavy meeting. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to suit each person’s daily routine.
