Kasey Saunders, LMFT

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and focuses on relationship and family concerns alongside trauma, parenting, and mood issues. Kasey aims to make reaching out feel manageable and direct, meeting people where they are and listening without judgment.

Kasey uses straightforward, practical methods to help people tackle specific problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She also uses client-centered ways of working that prioritize the person's goals and perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are woven in for pacing, stress reduction, and grounding when emotions feel intense. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change and looking for clearer reasons to act.

Kasey has worked in daycare settings, schools, foster care, and with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her background includes child development and family relations, which informs her approach when parenting, blended family, or fatherhood issues arise.

She helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, communication struggles, and trauma-related problems. Kasey encourages collaborative goal-setting so each person can choose what to focus on and how therapy will fit into their life.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach can focus on understanding connection, improving communication, and repairing hurt in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, giving space for their priorities to guide each session and encourage self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms and solve problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and checking in about what helps most.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises, worksheets, or in-session skill practice from wherever they are, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps for change.
