Bailey Pitts Raines, MEd, LCMHC

Hi everyone! My name is Bailey and I am really looking forward to getting to know you all and working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have my undergraduate degree in psychology and graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling from Clemson University (Go Tigers!). I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, and a Professional Counselor Telehealth Provider in South Carolina.

After completing graduate school, I was ready to hit the ground running and spent two years working with individuals with eating disorders to achieve recovery in a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, and Outpatient setting. For approximately the last several years, I have worked at Sun Counseling and Wellness. I have so enjoyed working with clients on various issues to acquire effective coping skills and process their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.  I have extensive knowledge and training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Maudsley Family Therapy, also known as Family Based Treatment. It is of utmost importance that I provide my patients with evidence-based care in order to ensure effective outcomes. 

My specialties are working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and emotion regulation. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults, and I feel that I have a great ability to connect with these age groups! I believe the most important thing in counseling is to have a relationship with your therapist that makes you feel comfortable and safe. My therapeutic style is one that emphasizes empathy and understanding, but also utilizes a loving, yet realistic approach that helps facilitate change. Humor is also something I think that is essential to the therapeutic process.

When I’m not working, you can find me in the car with friends probably belting Taylor Swift or watching movies with my husband. I spend much of my time with my family in Fort Mill and have two younger sisters, Ellis and Pierson. Family is very important to me! I love going to concerts (some of my favorites are Coldplay, John Mayer, The Avett Brothers). Growing up, I enjoyed participating in local theater productions and still love singing. I am an avid reader and actually have a subscription that sends me a new book every month! People who know me would describe me as fun, relatable, passionate, and empathic.

I’m hoping that we can work together and help you create a life worth living!

I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. When I was in high school, I started seeing a counselor and it made a substantial impact on my life. Therapy helped me be able to get back to a place where my life felt meaningful and where I was no longer riddled with worry. My therapist’s name was Liz and I wanted to be a “Liz” for somebody else!

  1. Am I truly depleted and too busy today or am I avoid talking about something hard?
  2. What would make today’s session worth it, if I left with just one takeaway?
  3. Could I benefit from even just a shorter lesson or switching to telehealth rather than totally cancelling? 
  4. If I skip this session, will I lose momentum and will it be harder to return?
  5. What topic am I most avoidant of talking about and what’s one sentence I could start with?
  6. If not therapy today, what’s my plan for support (journaling, practicing skills I’ve learned, calling a friend, etc.) and is that enough?
We therapists have very thoughtfully and intentionally chosen to be out of network with insurance companies. This allows us to avoid your insurance company’s involvement in your treatment (i.e. mandating a maximum amount of sessions, requiring we continually show them your treatment plan, rejecting certain treatment or diagnoses, etc.). We want to provide 100% confidential treatment with competitive pricing options. We want you to feel empowered to choose your provider, treatment length and approach, and not have insurance companies interfere with your unique goals and needs. And we want to be able to get creative with your treatment with evidence-based support that is sometimes not covered by insurance. Lastly, we prioritize spending our time beyond the 50 min session – between your sessions- conceptualizing your case, researching, and collaborating with other providers involved in your care.
Being out-of-network means that you self pay upfront at the time of service and then you can submit for reimbursement. Call your insurance company to determine if they have out-of-network benefits. We suggest you ask for your “outpatient office-visit mental health benefits.” If they do have out-of-network benefits, we can provide a Super Bill for you to submit (please note that this requires a diagnosis code.) We will also provide you a good faith estimate, and include in our informed consents, with all of our costs laid out so there are no surprises.
Lindsey, our dietitian, IS in-network with BCBS only and is otherwise self-pay. It is up to the client to determine benefits and coverage.
