Dr. Carrie Lynn Bailey is a Counselor Educator and a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of clinical experience in family, school, and college counseling settings. She has a strong grounding in humanistic perspectives that uphold the potential of each individual to grow and move forward along their unique developmental path and strives to facilitate this growth in both students and clients through providing environments in which meaningful, self-directed learning can flourish.
As a Core Faculty member with Walden University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, Dr. Bailey also maintains a small private practice focusing on the needs of college students navigating the transition to adulthood, gifted individuals across the lifespan, and supporting individuals coping with issues of anxiety and depression. Her current research interests include experiential pedagogy in counselor education, cognitive-developmental interventions and educational strategies, Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration, the developmental counseling needs of gifted, and working towards positive social change. In addition to her volunteer and pro-bono work in the community, Dr. Bailey is a founding member of Walden University’s CMHC Student Support program, co-chairs the SACES Distance/Online Counselor Education Interest Network, and serves as the Secretary for the VA-ALGTBIC chapter.
