About Kasey

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns along with trauma, parenting, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career shifts, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Kasey also lists several related focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and communication problems.

Kasey uses practical, person-focused approaches in sessions. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to look at how relationships and early experiences shape patterns now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness help people notice thought patterns and learn manageable ways to respond to stress and anxiety.

In practice she listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients set concrete goals. Sessions often include talking through what’s happening, trying small changes between meetings, and checking what actually helps. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods when people want step-by-step strategies to move forward.

Kasey has worked across settings including daycare, foster care, schools, and with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. That background informs how she thinks about parenting challenges, attachment concerns, and trauma recovery. Her experience includes prenatal and perinatal mental health, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, and foster care issues.

People often come to Kasey when life transitions feel overwhelming - leaving home, starting new work, or coping with illness and loss. She supports choosing clear, achievable goals and practical steps to manage day-to-day challenges.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect how someone connects and trusts others. Online work with attachment themes can focus on patterns in relationships and practical parenting strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In online sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems to help, then try methods that match those priorities. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as they learn what actually helps day to day.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for different ways of meeting when life is hectic. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others use audio or shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. These practical arrangements are discussed and agreed on at the start so sessions fit into ordinary life.
