About Sasha-Gaye

Sasha-Gaye Bailey is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and big life changes. She brings a calm, direct manner and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Sasha-Gaye encourages people to notice their strengths and apply them to present challenges. She draws on personal and family experience to build honest connections in sessions. That personal perspective is used to help clients talk through trauma, confidence issues, sleep and eating concerns, and career or parenting strain. She emphasizes collaboration so clients set goals that matter to them. Her work blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. Sasha-Gaye uses attachment ideas to look at close relationships and patterns that repeat. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-focused and existential perspectives show up when feelings, meaning, and identity are central concerns. These approaches help people face losses, life transitions, and questions about purpose. Sasha-Gaye aims to make these conversations manageable and relevant to everyday life. Sasha-Gaye holds a New York LMHC credential and has spent around ten years working in mental health settings. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Sasha-Gaye’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape present reactions, which can help with recurring relationship and intimacy struggles. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and uses active listening and reflection so the client leads what matters most in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sasha-Gaye collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. She will check in and adjust the plan as work unfolds so the approach stays useful and relevant.
