Kasey Saunders

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, grief, and questions about career and life purpose. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Saunders draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to help people make sense of where they are. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing appear in her approach to strengthen moment-to-moment awareness and move toward concrete goals. She has a background in child development and family relations. That history includes work in daycare settings, foster care, schools, and with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. That experience informs how she talks about parenting, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and blended family concerns. In sessions she helps people talk through family of origin problems, communication breakdowns, and the stress of caregiving or chronic illness. She also supports those coping with abandonment, domestic violence, shame, and forgiveness work. Practical skills for managing ADHD, attention and focus challenges, and compassion fatigue are part of her practice. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and communication. In practice this means looking at patterns in close relationships and trying small changes to improve connection and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts that increase stress or anxiety and then test new ways of thinking and behaving. That approach is useful for worry, depression, and problems with attention and focus. Client-centered therapy centers the person's goals and experience, offering reflective listening and practical problem-solving to help clients decide what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match the method to the problem rather than committing to one style from the start.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, skip travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows people to continue continuity of care when life or work changes. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and motivational interviewing to online settings so the sessions stay practical and focused on next steps.
