About Kasey

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She pursued this path to accompany people through difficult transitions and to help them access their own strengths.

Background and approach

Drawing on a background that includes child development and family relations, she has supported families, couples, individuals, parents, and children across a range of concerns from relationship and parenting struggles to trauma, anxiety, depression, and attention and focus challenges. Her work combines practical, evidence-informed tools with a warm, nonjudgmental stance.

Kasey integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centered approaches, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals. She has also worked in settings such as foster care, schools, and daycare, and addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

In sessions she aims to understand what clients want to accomplish and to collaborate on achievable steps toward those goals.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions and Practical Support

Kasey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention or focus challenges. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and strengthen connections between family members or caregivers and children, which can be helpful for adoption, foster care, and attachment issues. Finally, client-centered principles shape the therapeutic relationship by prioritizing empathic listening and collaboration to clarify client goals and preferences.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and comfort with different methods, and together they will adapt strategies over time to find what feels most effective and practical.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. This flexibility makes it easier to keep continuity of care, try brief check-ins when needed, and access therapeutic support from wherever a client is located within North Carolina.
