About Kasey
Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. She brings practical support for parents and individuals facing relationship strain, anxiety, grief, depression, and the everyday stress of caring for others. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take small, meaningful steps forward.
She draws on a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on improving communication, easing parenting challenges, and working through trauma and attachment concerns.
Background and approach
Kasey uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Her background includes work in child development, family relations, foster care, school settings, and care for people with developmental differences. That practical experience informs how she frames parenting strategies, caregiver stress, and blended family issues.
She also has experience with prenatal and perinatal mental health and with adoption and foster care matters. Kasey aims to meet people where they are and listen without judgment. She uses client-centered conversations and motivational interviewing to help clarify goals.
Together she and the client decide which techniques will be most useful for the situation. Sessions may address abandonment and attachment worries, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and managing compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, trauma and abuse, and the ripple effects those struggles can cause in family life.
Based in North Carolina as an NC LMFT, Kasey works with people in English. Her style is practical, steady, and focused on helping parents and individuals find manageable changes that fit their lives.

How attachment, cognitive work, and online sessions fit together
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotions and behavior. It helps parents and caregivers understand patterns in connection and soothe attachment-related worries in day-to-day family life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It teaches straightforward skills to test thoughts, reduce anxiety, and build practical routines that support parenting and mood management.
Mindfulness Therapy invites simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for stress, compassion fatigue, and for parents who want tools to respond rather than react.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kasey collaborates with each person to clarify goals and choose methods that match their needs and preferences. That process may shift as new issues come up or goals change.
Online sessions offer flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face-to-face and practice new skills together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short updates, homework check-ins, or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
