Kay Saunders, LPC

Kay Saunders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who want practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Kay also helps people dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, career shifts, and life changes such as aging or end-of-life issues.

Her style centers on listening and placing the person at the heart of sessions. She uses a client-centered stance while drawing from several approaches to suit the problem at hand. Sessions involve talking through specific situations, learning concrete skills, and practicing ways to respond differently to strong emotions like anger.

Kay integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness tools alongside narrative and psychoeducational techniques. That mix is used to address patterns of thinking and behavior, to increase awareness of emotional triggers, and to build actionable coping strategies.

Practical work might include skills practice for managing impulses, strategies for communication, and exercises to reduce ongoing worry or rumination. She also offers support around grief, forgiveness, isolation, and finding purpose as people face life transitions.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations, skills to try between sessions, and collaborative planning for next steps. Kay asks about mental, physical, social, and spiritual factors so that recommendations fit a person’s everyday life.
