Kay Saunders

Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and career concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, relationship and family strains, parenting pressures, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Kay works in plain terms and focuses on what people want to change. She meets each person where they are and listens before suggesting steps they can try. Her style is client-centered, meaning the person’s goals guide the work together.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She blends these methods to match individual needs, using practical tools and conversation to build skills and insight.

Kay has 22 years of counseling experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She pays attention to mental, physical, spiritual, social, and educational needs when planning care, and aims to help people find hope and growth.

Sessions involve validation, skill practice, and collaborative problem solving. Kay helps people set realistic steps, try new coping strategies, and check progress over time. Her goal is to help clients move toward a more meaningful life.

How her methods translate to online work

Kay uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways online. ACT helps people clarify values and take small steps toward them, which can be done through discussion and home practice. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns through guided exercises and between-session work.

Finding the best fit is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it matches real life needs.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find the combination of conversation, skill practice, and short assignments fits well into everyday routines and supports steady progress.
