I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of counseling experience. I have been a Social Worker for over 20 years and have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds. I have worked with a wide range of concerns from environmental, and situational to severe mental illness. I have worked in schools, community mental health facilities, and hospice.
I believe in transparency and collaboration in practice. I believe in behavioral activation and a person's ability to overcome thinking errors through solution-focused goal setting and follow-through.
I am confident that in working together, we can find tools and strategies that will assist in current and future concerns that effect your well-being.
Congratulations on taking this first step and I look forward to meeting soon.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Bair continues to be the calming voice I need to listen to, and he continues to listen to me in such an understanding way. So grateful for my sessions with him.
Definitely one of the best I've had. Listened carefully, provided great perspective, remembered what I've said, and very genuine. Very happy with my therapy.
Dr. Bair is respectful and honest and gives good tools to better understand myself and my reactions to life stressors.
During our sessions Dr. Bair has been very helpful, he’s given me guidance and exercises to work on my problems while carefully listening and supporting me.
Dr. Bair is I think the best therapist I’ve ever had. He understands my struggle or issue with little explanation. I feel it is very easy to talk with him. His responses are spot on, and I would highly recommend him.
Genuinely an incredible man, his ability to understand me is impressive and he's a man who's very relaxing to talk to
Dr. Bair is amazing. He really goes out of his way to understand what clients are struggling with, and he provides great support and feedback that challenges unhelpful thinking patterns. I've seen several counselors over the years and can say with confidence that Dr. Bair is truly one of the good ones.
He's great. I trust him, and I look forward to speaking with him.
Dr. Bair has been very helpful. He tries hard to make a connection with me. He is very flexible and has the most calm demeanor. I highly recommend him to anyone.
He’s very compassionate, understanding and listens to me (and I can be a lot) he gives great suggestions and worksheets to review
He truly cares.
Dr. Bair has been incredible. I tried two apps to see where I’ll feel comfortable and despite not getting a great match my first time with BetterHelp, Dr. Bair’s help has made me switch to only BetterHelp.
