Kay Saunders, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Kay

Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains, family and parenting questions, career transitions, bipolar challenges, and other life changes. Her tone is practical and direct, focused on helping clients take small, doable steps toward feeling better.

She uses a flexible, client-centered style. That means she listens first, then tailors techniques to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve talking through patterns, trying simple behavioral changes, and practicing skills between meetings. Mindfulness and relaxation skills are used when helpful. Her background includes both inpatient and outpatient counseling.

She considers mental, physical, spiritual, social, and educational needs when planning care. That broad view helps her match strategies to what actually affects daily life. Kai integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, narrative approaches, and mindfulness tools.

She blends these methods rather than relying on one single model. The work is collaborative and focused on practical progress. People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback, empathic listening, and homework that targets real-world problems.

Her practice is based in Georgia and sessions are conducted in English. Kay aims to help clients regain hope and build routines that support lasting change.

Approaches on Video and Phone That Focus on Everyday Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values-based actions so clients take steps that matter, even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple experiments and skills to test unhelpful beliefs and change behaviors that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kay will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. That choice is collaborative, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Online sessions can be a good fit because they offer flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients meet face-to-face from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter or more frequent contact when needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, caregiving, and daily life while using the same therapeutic approaches discussed above.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
