Kasey Saunders, LMFT

Kasey Saunders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental and she focuses on listening first to understand each person’s goals.

Her background includes work with parents, children up to age 18, couples, and individuals. She has experience in daycare, foster care, school settings, and supporting people with intellectual and developmental differences. That history informs how she frames problems and finds workable steps forward.

Kasey combines several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand early bonds, client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s voice, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit the goals.

In session she helps people set clear, manageable goals and uses short-term problem solving alongside deeper work when needed. Topics often include parenting, adoption and foster care issues, family communication, grief, anxiety, and challenges tied to chronic illness or disability. She also supports people navigating abandonment, forgiveness, shame, and compassion fatigue.

Kasey invites prospective clients to consider what they most want to change and to start from there. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating with partners or children. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the person’s priorities, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks big problems into smaller steps and tests practical changes between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kasey will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and as progress is made.

Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins, and reduce travel time. Online work also lets the therapist and client try strategies together that apply directly to everyday routines and relationships.
