About Anais

Anais Bailly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship problems. She offers straightforward support for parenting strains, compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Anais speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice.

She favors a conversational, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to clarify values, name patterns, and find small, workable changes that fit daily life. Narrative therapy appears in her approach to help people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how those stories shape choices. She also uses mindfulness tools to help with strong emotions and DBT-informed skills to manage stress and overwhelm.

Motivational interviewing supports people who want practical plans for change. In sessions Anais listens for strengths and practical steps. She helps people sort through family-of-origin concerns, communication problems, commitment worries, and issues around abandonment or attachment.

She also supports those dealing with immigration stress, parenting challenges, and the aftermath of domestic violence. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Anais works with each person to set reachable goals and track progress.

Simple, steady steps are emphasized over quick fixes, and she encourages people to build new habits that fit their life.

Online session options

How Narrative and Skills-Based Work Translate Online

Online appointments can support narrative work by making room to tell and then reframe difficult life stories. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful labels and see new possibilities, which can be done through reflective conversation and guided questions during video or phone sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name their own goals. That approach is useful for building trust and clarity in a virtual conversation where the therapist follows the person’s lead. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills translate well to short coaching-style exchanges over chat or text and to practice between video sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to see which methods feel most helpful based on goals and preferences, and can adapt techniques as needs change. Clients often try a mix of narrative reflection, mindfulness practice, and skills coaching to see what fits.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, and brief skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain steady work on goals despite busy schedules.
