About Kay
Kay Ibarra is a licensed professional counselor with nearly three decades of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She also helps with addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and struggles around work and relationships.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters most. Kay listens closely and responds in ways that fit each person's situation. Conversations focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience in community behavioral health and independent practice. Kay has been an LPC in Georgia since 2002, and she has worked under earlier licenses in other states. She began offering virtual sessions during the COVID pandemic and continued because many clients found the format convenient.
Her approach draws on several methods, including Jungian therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts these tools to the struggles people bring, from trauma and depression to career stress and caregiver fatigue. Kay focuses on steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
She helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and build new habits that fit their lives. The work aims to move clients toward more balance, clearer choices, and greater day-to-day wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jungian therapy looks at themes and symbols in a person's life to help uncover deeper patterns and meaning. It can be useful for people who want to understand inner conflicts, life transitions, and recurring dreams or themes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Client-Centered therapy centers the person in the room and emphasizes empathy and understanding to build trust and clarity.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that match your needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the work remains useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to touch base between sessions or to communicate when scheduling is tight. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who use approaches that match your concerns.
