About Kay

Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She helps clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, career changes, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes. She draws on 22 years of counseling experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens, validates, and encourages clients who are motivated to make changes. Sessions look at mental, physical, social, spiritual, and educational needs rather than one angle alone.

Kay uses a mix of approaches rooted in client-centered work and cognitive behavior techniques. She also brings in mindfulness, narrative ideas, and emotionally-focused methods when they match a person’s goals. Practical skills and clear steps are part of most sessions.

People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through current problems and plan next steps. She aims to help clients discover hope, handle difficult feelings, and move toward goals that feel meaningful.

Kay practices in Georgia and conducts therapy in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm the current session options. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and adjusting to big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and problem-focused goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and supports the person’s own problem-solving and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts sessions over time so the approach matches what’s helping and what isn’t.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, avoid travel time, and let people choose whether to use video or another option depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools described above, while working with clients to set practical goals and homework that fit everyday routines.
