About Kasey

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, or the stress that comes with major life changes. Kasey emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach and aims to meet each person where they are.

Her background includes work with parents, children, adults, and people connected to foster care and childcare settings. She also has experience supporting people who face trauma, domestic violence, chronic illness, attention and focus differences, and autism spectrum concerns. This practical experience shapes how she listens and the strategies she offers.

Kasey blends several approaches in session. She draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to focus on relationships and what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, and mindfulness supports skills for present-moment coping.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Kasey uses motivational and solution-focused elements to help people make changes that fit their daily lives. She also brings knowledge of parenting, attachment, and trauma when those topics are part of the work.

If you are dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, parenting strain, or recovery after a disaster, Kasey offers practical support and steady guidance.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and patterns. It focuses on building safer, more reliable ways of relating and can help with parenting concerns, attachment issues, and relationship stress.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation around the person seems and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead to better understand what matters most and how to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with attention or focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kasey will collaborate with each person to figure out which combination of approaches fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.
