Cherie Bailey, LCSW

Cherie Bailey is a Delaware licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice. She helps people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, and shifts in self‑esteem. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they take difficult first steps toward change.

Her work centers on listening and finding practical ways forward. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and strengths rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Cherie uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs, keeping goals clear and doable.

People come to her for many kinds of family and relationship issues. That includes blended family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and problems tied to family of origin. She also supports those coping with fertility struggles, postpartum mood changes, and the aftereffects of domestic violence or other trauma.

Cherie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods help with managing painful memories, improving communication, and building everyday coping skills.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She helps people identify strengths, set small goals, and practice new ways of handling stress and conflict. The aim is steady progress people can use outside the session.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, practical steps toward a life that matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers hands-on tools to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on how emotions shape relationships and helps people communicate feelings more clearly to improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what seems to help. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Check which session formats are offered before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a work break. They also let people use sessions for focused skill practice, brief check-ins, or longer conversations depending on what they need.
