Hunter Burns , LPC

Hunter Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are navigating stress and anxiety, working through addictions, healing from trauma and abuse, and addressing intimacy-related concerns. Hunter approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own story and that they already hold many strengths that can be used to overcome life’s challenges.

Her style invites collaboration and respects the courage it takes to seek help. Hunter aims to create a space where clients can build on their existing resources, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the changes they want to see. Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and she recognizes and honors that bravery in everyone who reaches out to begin this work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hunter Burns draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and building distress tolerance, which is often useful for people facing relationship and self-regulation challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hunter works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and experiences. She adapts techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Hunter is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can be managed through live chat or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environments, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
