About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She works with adults who are ready to make changes and want practical tools to feel better. Her style is direct and warm, with a focus on helping people regain a sense of control and hope.
She uses a client-centered foundation, which means sessions focus on each person's needs and goals.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Kay considers the whole person in therapy - mental, physical, spiritual, social, and educational factors all matter.
She can help with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, career decisions, and life changes such as coping with loss or aging issues. She also supports people dealing with bipolar mood patterns and social anxiety challenges. In sessions she listens, validates, and encourages practical steps forward.
Work often includes skill practice between meetings, clear goal-setting, and checking progress over time. She aims to help people find meaning and regain functioning after difficult life events. Kay provides individual counseling using a mix of evidence-based ideas and person-focused care.
She offers services to people in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. If someone prefers a therapy that emphasizes respect and real-world skills, her approach may be a good fit.
Online therapy approaches and how they help
Kay often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, helping with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete tools to manage symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact and homework reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
