About Kasey

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience. She works from North Carolina and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and individual challenges. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and families find practical ways forward.

Kasey helps people with a wide range of issues. These include parenting and fatherhood concerns, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment issues.

Background and approach

She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in child development, family relations, daycare and school settings, foster care, and with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. That variety informs how she tailors sessions for families and parents.

She draws on practical tools that fit each household’s routines and limits. In sessions she uses methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Kasey prefers to meet people where they are and to help them set clear, realistic goals.

She focuses on small changes that make daily family life more manageable. Kasey asks questions, listens carefully, and helps families try doable steps between meetings. She guides conversations about communication, boundaries, grief, and behavior in simple language.

Her goal is to help parents and family members build steadier routines and clearer relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits your family

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape behavior and feelings. It helps parents and children strengthen trust and repair patterns that cause distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and improve coping for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kasey will collaborate with each family to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. She listens to what matters most and adjusts tools so they feel usable at home.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let families connect face to face from home. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities, while keeping progress steady.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
