Kasey Saunders, LMFT

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as parenting, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and related issues. Kasey also lists work with ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and self-esteem among her areas of practice.

She describes a background that includes child development, family relations, and human development. Her earlier roles have included work in daycare settings, foster care, schools, and with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. That mix has informed how she approaches parenting and attachment questions.

Kasey uses a range of approaches in session, including attachment-based methods, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She also draws on solution-focused strategies and experience with trauma-informed care. These methods are used to address practical problems such as communication breakdowns, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, and caregiver stress.

The therapist notes specific experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, domestic violence, family-of-origin concerns, chronic illness and disability, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She has worked with parents around pre-natal and peri-natal mental health and with families navigating foster care and adoption.

Kasey approaches sessions as a collaborative process. She asks what clients want to accomplish, helps set goals, and uses approaches selected to match those goals. Sessions are intended to be straightforward and focused on making changes that fit into everyday life.
