About Kay

Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 22 years of experience.

She takes a straightforward, practical approach and looks at the whole person when planning care.

Her style centers on listening closely and making space for each person’s story. She uses client-centered techniques to help people feel heard and respected.

Background and approach

Therapy sessions focus on small, doable steps that build control and hope over time. Kay draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs.

That includes Narrative Therapy to rethink personal stories, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for values-based change, Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship patterns, and mindfulness strategies to calm the body and mind. She blends those approaches with practical teaching and problem-solving. Sessions may include skill practice, real-world homework, or learning new ways to talk about hard experiences.

The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and better daily functioning. Kay emphasizes kindness and validation while encouraging active steps forward. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjusts methods as needs change.

Her background in inpatient and outpatient settings informs flexible, realistic care that fits people’s lives.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Kay commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult stories and rewrite those narratives in ways that feel more empowering. This approach can help with grief, life transitions, identity questions, and patterns that keep repeating.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-based change. ACT encourages noticing hard thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills to manage mood and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and situation. Techniques may be mixed and adjusted over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are suited to brief check-ins, skill reminders, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health constraints while keeping a consistent path toward goals.
