Counselor's Corner

Lindsay Bailey, Counselor

My name is Lindsay Bailey and I am the School Counselor at Johnson Elementary.  This is my third year at JES and my eighth year in education.  Prior to this, I was a social worker, specifically working with children aging of out Foster Care in Oklahoma.  I love serving children and families and find great joy in partnering with you to make your child's experience at Johnson one that they will not only enjoy but also look back on with fondness!

I have my Bachelor's Degree in Christian Caregiving and Counseling from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and my Master's Degree in Human Relations (on the License of Professional Counseling Track) from the University of Oklahoma.  Before landing in Carroll ISD, I was at Eanes ISD in West Lake Hills, Texas, at Valley View Elementary.  While in Oklahoma, I started my career as a School Counselor in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at Sequoyah Middle School, then worked at Monte Cassino School in Tulsa.  

While being a School Counselor is awesome, my favorite titles are wife and mom.  I am married to Seth and our love story actually started about 20 years ago at ORU.  We had the same friends, but like the movie Serendipity, we always "just missed" each other.  It would be about 10 - 12 years later when we would reconnect through emails and end up on a 3 hour long date where it was pretty much decided we were going to be together for a very long time!  We have two boys - Drew (4) and Brady (2).  We recently added a furry friend to our family, sweet Daisy, our perfectly toasted Golden Retriever.  When not at school, I'm with my family, swimming, playing with Hot Wheels or Monster Trucks, coloring, playing outside, anything where we are together and able to enjoy each other.  

I have loved this community since I arrived two, almost three years ago.  You all welcomed me with open arms, and I am forever blessed by that.  I look forward to partnering with your and serving your family.

Daisy Bailey, Therapy Dog

I'm Daisy Bailey, and I am in training to be the Counseling Partner at JES!  I love EVERYONE (especially if you give me bacon flavored treats) and love hugs, kisses and belly rubs.  I am still too young to work in my mom's office with kids, but I am going to training in September to be able to attend school calmly and appropriately.  I expect to be a full partner by the fall of 2026.  Until then, I will be at school from time to time.  Can't wait to meet you!
