About Anais
Anais Bailly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with eight years of post-master's experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate family conflict, and cope with life changes. She also supports concerns around parenting, intimacy, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is conversational and person-focused. Sessions center on listening and making sense of what feels hard at home. She uses practical techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Clients can expect clear discussion and straightforward goals rather than long theory talks.
Anais draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills and mindfulness techniques to slow racing thoughts. Motivational interviewing and narrative methods help people reframe their stories and set realistic next steps.
She has worked with issues linked to family and parenting, including attachment questions, adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. She also addresses abandonment, commitment and communication struggles, and the fallout of divorce or domestic violence.
Sessions are conducted in English and Haitian Creole. Anais practices in New York and works with adults who want focused, practical support around relationships and family concerns.
How sessions work
How Anais uses therapeutic approaches online
Anais works with client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's concerns and goals. This approach means sessions focus on what the client brings, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most. It helps when a person needs straightforward support for relationship or parenting stress.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools are useful for managing intense emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her work and involves simple attention and breathing practices to slow racing thoughts and restore focus.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit practical needs, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients help decide which techniques feel most useful and when to change course.
