I am a bilingual English/Spanish therapist working with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC).

I earned my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have worked in private practice, community mental health, school-based settings, and with individuals and families facing a wide range of life challenges.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, life transitions, emotional regulation, parenting concerns, and men's issues. I also have extensive experience working with adolescents and couples, including individuals navigating cultural differences, major life changes, and difficult relationship patterns.

As an Argentinian-American and bilingual clinician, I also understand how culture, family expectations, immigration experiences, and different ways of communicating can influence relationships and emotional well-being.

Stress, anxiety, panic, trauma, or depression taking away your peace? You don’t have to keep feeling stuck, defeated, or disconnected from the life you want. After a decade as a chiropractor helping people with back and joint pain, I discovered a powerful pattern: unresolved emotional pain can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. That realization led me to counseling—and to a passion for helping people heal from the inside out. I work with concerns including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, mood disorders, chronic pain, codependency, phobias, and women’s issues.

Gloria Bailey

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


If you're carrying grief, trauma, anxiety, or the weight of trying to hold everything together, you don't have to keep doing it alone. A few years ago, I knew I had to fully embrace the work I was built for. Helping individuals, families, and whole communities navigate what feels impossible is what drives me, and that shows up in every session. I'm Gloria Bailey, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and licensed clinical addiction specialist (LCASa) with nearly a decade of experience in trauma, PTSD, grief, substance use, crisis intervention, and more. I bring a supportive, non-judgmental space where we move at your pace. When you're ready to take that next step, I'd be glad to walk alongside you.

I have been a Social Worker for 30 years! That's crazy for me to think about because I am not THAT old......and I have learned a lot (about myself) along the way. I have learned that I do like to talk to people more than I let on. I have learned that I can be very patient listener and I give good feedback. And, I have learned that, at some point, we all have to make changes in our lives and that can be scary. I have also learned it's not as scary when we talk about it out loud........just saying.
