01About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers individual counseling to adults who are ready to make changes and take more control over their lives. Kay uses a whole-person view in sessions.
She pays attention to mental, physical, social, spiritual, and educational factors that affect wellbeing. Conversations are practical and focused on real-life problems like relationships, parenting, career choices, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and client-centered. That means she follows the person’s lead, listens carefully, and asks questions that help clarify values and goals. She balances that with more structured tools when those are helpful, such as techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and steps to practice new behaviors.
Sessions may include mindfulness exercises, emotion-focused work to improve connections, and acceptance-based strategies to reduce struggle with painful feelings. Kay aims to help people find hope, healing, and clearer direction through small, steady changes. Practicing in Georgia, she draws on experience from both inpatient and outpatient settings.
People often come for support with aging concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, communication problems, social anxiety, and finding life purpose. Her approach is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's agenda to build trust and self-awareness, useful for grief, low self-esteem, and communication problems.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies patterns of thinking that contribute to distress and teaches practical steps to change those patterns. It often includes short exercises between sessions to practice new skills for anger, social anxiety, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made, and choices are made collaboratively.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days or to get ongoing support between appointments. These options help people access regular care without major disruptions to daily life.
