About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and parenting challenges. She helps clients who want practical change and more control over day-to-day life.
Kay uses a client-centered style that focuses on the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps shape goals that fit each person’s situation. Sessions often include steady validation, problem-solving, and small steps to build confidence.
Background and approach
Her approach combines several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and strengthen coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques help when relationships and communication are central concerns.
Kay treats issues across life stages, including career stress, caregiving and aging questions, end-of-life concerns, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. She pays attention to mental, physical, spiritual, and social needs when making a plan of care. People find practical direction in sessions, such as new ways to handle anger, tools for grief, or strategies to manage anxiety day to day.
Kay emphasizes hope and growth while working at a pace that fits each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Kay commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small actions in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for stress, phobias, and mood challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity when life gets busy.
