About Robin
Robin Bailly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Idaho with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Robin lists guilt and shame among areas she focuses on and often helps people when those feelings come from past relationships, faith, or choices they regret.
Her style is trauma-informed and person-focused. She uses practical strategies and evidence-based methods rather than abstract theory. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to what the person can manage in the moment.
Robin draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques when past events continue to cause strong distress.
In a typical meeting she listens to what feels most urgent, talks through coping skills people can try between sessions, and revisits goals as progress changes. She helps people work through attachment and abandonment concerns and the shame or guilt that can follow loss or betrayal.
Robin practices in Idaho and offers sessions in English. She frames therapy as a practical process: identify what’s getting in the way, try manageable steps, and adjust the plan together as needed.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Robin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety, low mood, or self-blame. CBT sessions often include simple experiments and homework to test different thoughts and behaviors.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions. DBT provides concrete tools for distress tolerance, grounding, and regulating intense feelings that can follow trauma or shame.
EMDR is another approach she uses when past events are still causing distress. In practice this involves attending to memories in a structured way while using bilateral stimulation techniques that aim to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as things change.
