About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who brings 22 years of clinical experience to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, relationship and family issues, parenting questions, career transitions, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses aging and geriatric matters, communication problems, forgiveness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia. Kay favors a holistic view that attends to mental, physical, spiritual, social, and educational needs as part of treatment.
Her practice centers on a client-centered stance paired with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, solution-focused methods, and psych-education. She aims to empower people through attentive listening, validation, and collaborative goal-setting so that clients build skills for hope, healing, and meaningful growth.
Kay offers individual counseling to motivated clients ready to pursue change and greater control over their circumstances. Sessions are shaped by the person’s priorities and often blend approaches to fit real-life challenges.
Her long-term experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings informs a flexible, strengths-based approach that supports coping, adjustment, and clearer direction during difficult life transitions.
How Kay’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Kay commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) along with client-centered principles. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, and it often includes practical skill-building for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying values and committing to actions that create a meaningful life, which can help with coping, life purpose, and adjustment to change.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Kay approaches that choice collaboratively. She listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then integrates CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or client-centered techniques as fits the situation, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and useful.
Online therapy with Kay is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on skills, access support during transitions, and fit therapy into day-to-day life without travel, while still allowing for focused, technique-driven sessions and reflective conversations.
