About Kasey

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to attention and focus. She also sees issues connected to trauma, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Kasey listens first to understand the patterns that developed in a person’s family of origin and how those patterns show up now. She uses clear, conversational strategies rather than jargon and helps people identify small changes they can try between sessions.

Kasey blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors while also looking at how early relationships shaped expectations and roles. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused practices are used to set realistic goals and track progress.

Her background includes work in daycare settings, foster care, schools, and services for people with intellectual and developmental differences. That experience informs how she talks about parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and fatherhood concerns.

Sessions move at a steady, practical pace aimed at clarifying problems and building skills. Kasey supports people working through communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and forgiveness or guilt issues. She works in straightforward language and helps people decide what to try next.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people expect closeness and handle conflict. It helps when family roles or childhood patterns keep repeating in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a direct, respectful conversation where the therapist listens and reflects so the client can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process is used to decide whether attachment work, CBT techniques, or other approaches will be most useful for a person’s specific concerns.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekday routines, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so sessions are more convenient. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue steady work on communication, parenting strategies, and managing patterns from family of origin while fitting meetings into everyday life.
