About Kay Ibarra
Kay Ibarra has been a licensed therapist since 1992, with an early license in California and several years practicing in Louisiana before relocating to Georgia. She has been a Georgia LPC since 2002 - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and she also holds certification as a Professional Counselor Supervisor, which means she is qualified to provide clinical supervision to other counselors.
Her professional career spans roles in community behavioral health as well as a long-standing private practice. When the COVID pandemic required a shift to virtual work, she found that many clients appreciated meeting from home and that remote sessions often fit more easily into busy schedules. That flexibility has become a valued part of her practice.
Clients come to Kay with a wide range of concerns, including abuse and trauma, depression, stress and anxiety, co-occurring issues, family conflicts, life transitions, low self-esteem and confidence, and communication difficulties. She creates a validating, nonjudgmental space where people can raise intimate concerns and work toward personal growth. Kay is caring and invested in her clients' well-being and progress.
Her counseling approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Mindfulness practices, Trauma-Focused work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. In straightforward terms, she partners with clients to help them find greater peace and satisfaction in life and would welcome the opportunity to support someone on that journey.
