About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She also helps those dealing with relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, career changes, bipolar concerns, and major life transitions.
Saunders practices in a client-centered way, listening first and building on each person's strengths. She pays attention to mental, physical, social, spiritual, and educational factors that affect daily life. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more in control and find practical steps forward.
Her method blends several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices help calm stressful reactions and increase present-moment focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools support clarifying values and taking committed action.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas are used when it is helpful to look at emotional patterns in relationships. Narrative and psycho-educational elements help people reframe stories about themselves and learn skills they can use day to day. Saunders emphasizes listening, validation, and empowering clients to pursue hope and growth.
People who want a therapist who combines practical skills with a supportive style may find her approach approachable. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether this collaborative, strengths-based style fits their needs before scheduling.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship. Online work with this approach still centers on the client's perspective, giving space to tell their story and guiding change at the client's pace.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In online sessions ACT often uses short exercises and practical homework to build action between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Online CBT commonly involves tracking patterns, practicing new skills, and reviewing progress together in session.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life, and then recommend techniques that fit. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are available. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and supports trying brief skill practices between meetings. Discuss practical preferences during the matching step to find a plan that works with everyday routines.
