Hunter Burns , LPC

Hunter Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and women's issues. Her approach is down-to-earth and direct, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths to therapy. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Hunter uses clear tools and short-term goals to help people manage symptoms and make small changes that matter.

Her work often includes strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to recognize unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take committed action. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used for emotion regulation and coping during high-stress moments.

Hunter values storytelling methods too, helping people rewrite how difficult events fit into their lives. Solution-focused techniques help set concrete next steps and track progress week to week. This mix keeps sessions rooted in what the person wants to accomplish.

She has four years of clinical experience and centers respect and collaboration in sessions. People who come to her for concerns such as grief, eating and body image struggles, or relationship and communication problems can expect practical skills, gentle questioning, and clear planning. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and issues tied to identity or purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, mood, and compulsive habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical tools for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance during crises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person's life and needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all routine.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter real-time check-ins, and text-based messaging for quick reflections between sessions. These options make scheduling easier, allow different levels of engagement, and let people pick what works best for their routine and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from ACT, CBT, and DBT to these formats so work continues even when meeting remotely.
