About Anais
Anais Bailly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and draws on eight years of clinical experience to support practical change. Many clients come for help with family conflict, caregiving stress, or life transitions.
She uses a calm, direct style in sessions. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and on small steps that can improve daily life.
Background and approach
Anais listens for what matters to each person and works with them to set realistic goals. Her practice draws from client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to help with emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are used when clients want clearer direction or to reframe difficult experiences. Anais often helps people address issues such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care concerns, fatherhood issues, and immigration-related stress. She also supports those coping with abandonment, grief, guilt, or forgiveness struggles.
Practical communication and boundary skills come up frequently in sessions. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Anais encourages a collaborative process where clients shape the pace and focus of work.
Her approach aims to be straightforward and useful for everyday parenting and relationship challenges.

How approaches meet your needs online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities, letting sessions follow what matters most to the client while the therapist offers empathic listening and guidance. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to talk through parenting stress, relationship problems, or life changes.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, includes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. DBT skills can be useful for reducing reactivity, handling conflict, and improving day-to-day coping when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming.
Anais will collaborate with each person to determine which approaches fit best. She works together with clients to set short-term goals, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what works. Finding the right mix of strategies is part of the therapeutic process.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions offer face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use tools in real time.
