About Kay
Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family worries, and issues around parenting and career. She also supports people coping with bipolar disorder, life changes, and feelings of isolation.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods that begin by listening and helping people name what matters most to them. From there she adds practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help change unhelpful thoughts and reactions.
Saunders often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas with emotionally-focused work when relationships or attachment issues are present. Sessions commonly include talking through problems, learning coping strategies, and practicing short exercises to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings. She explains ideas plainly and gives homework to try between meetings.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings across her career, which informs how she plans care for people coming from different circumstances. Her work also touches on aging and geriatric concerns, end-of-life and hospice-related needs, communication problems, and questions of life purpose and forgiveness.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and low mood by focusing on what matters rather than trying to eliminate feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy uses short attention and breathing practices to lower immediate stress and improve emotional regulation.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Plans are adjusted as needs change, and the client helps set priorities for what to try first.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and remove travel time. These practical advantages can help someone keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.
