About Kasey

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, and big life transitions. Kasey aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can name what feels hard and take practical steps forward.

Her background includes child development, family relations, and work in daycare, foster care, and schools. That experience informs how she supports parents, caregivers, and individuals dealing with adoption, foster care issues, attachment concerns, and attention or developmental differences. She has also worked with people facing domestic violence, sexual assault, and grief.

Kasey uses straightforward methods that help clients set goals and try small changes. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. The focus is on what the person wants to accomplish and on realistic steps to get there.

Sessions often cover coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific topics like abandonment, blended family dynamics, chronic illness, and communication problems. Kasey listens without judgment and works alongside each person to find a useful path forward.

People who appreciate practical, collaborative support tend to fit well with her style. She encourages clear goals, flexible strategies, and checking in about what helps most as work unfolds.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kasey commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early connections shape current patterns; it helps with parenting, attachment issues, abandonment, and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kasey collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what the client finds most helpful.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, behavioral homework, and communication practice in the settings where they live and relate. If you want to know which session formats are available, confirm them during the matching and scheduling steps.
