About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship or family concerns. She works with clients concerned about parenting, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can take between sessions.
Saunders uses a holistic lens that looks at mental, physical, social, spiritual, and educational needs.
How Kay works
She begins by listening and validating what feels most urgent. From there she and the client set goals and choose strategies that fit the person’s life and values. Her practice draws on several approaches.
Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices add tools for staying present and reducing reactivity.
Kay also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take committed action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when emotion patterns in relationships need attention. These approaches are mixed into a plan that fits the individual.
With 22 years of experience, she has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She aims to empower people so they can find hope, healing, and practical change. Sessions focus on clear steps, teaching skills, and building on strengths.
People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth counselor will find a steady presence and concrete tools to manage problems and pursue a more meaningful life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when thoughts or feelings are hard. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to try between meetings and short practices that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions to change feelings and behavior. In an online format, CBT uses worksheets, short experiments, and homework that can be reviewed together during video or messaging sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for connection, reflection, and choices about what to work on next.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and concerns and suggest which methods to try first. That recommendation is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use screen-shared materials. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick problem-solving, brief check-ins, or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to schedule around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
