Kasey Saunders, LMFT

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy with compassion and a non-judgmental stance, helping individuals, couples, parents, and families navigate challenges and build on their strengths. Kasey has worked with children from birth through adolescence as well as adults, drawing on a background in child development, family relations, and human development gained in daycare, foster care, and school settings.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting and pre-natal or peri-natal mental health, foster care and adoption issues, trauma and post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, sexual assault, relationship conflict, communication difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, attention and focus challenges, and the impacts of chronic illness and disability. She also supports work-life balance, grief, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress. Kasey has experience with attachment-related issues, blended family dynamics, fatherhood questions, and challenges associated with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

She uses several therapeutic models to tailor care to each person or family, including Solution-Focused, Experiential, and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches, and she is a rostered Child-Parent Psychotherapy provider that emphasizes attachment and parenting strategies for healing after trauma. Kasey centers collaborative goal-setting and practical steps so clients can identify goals and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kasey Saunders integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach can help clients working through relationship struggles, attachment concerns, and parenting challenges by focusing on connection and healing. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an empathic, non-judgmental space where clients set the pace and direction of work - this approach supports self-exploration, increased self-esteem, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kasey collaborates with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so clients feel supported in choosing strategies that work for them.

Online therapy with Kasey offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate caregiving responsibilities, or maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These options allow ongoing therapeutic work without the need for in-person visits while preserving a personal, supportive connection with a licensed professional.
