About Hunter
Hunter Burns is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She works with people struggling with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, grief, and body image. Hunter brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions and encourages clients to use their own strengths.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions move at a steady pace with concrete skills and small experiments to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Hunter uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavior strategies, acceptance-based tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and identify what works now.
These methods are used to address issues such as obsessive thoughts, process addictions, eating and sex-related concerns, and communication problems. With four years of professional experience and a Master of Science plus LPC credential, she practices in Mississippi. Her work often includes coaching-style conversations for building self-love and improving self-esteem.
Hunter emphasizes small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a first step. The work begins with a short conversation to identify priorities and pick practical next steps.
Hunter aims to make therapy feel useful and achievable for busy people.
Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so people can make meaningful choices even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal communication, which is useful for intense emotions and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hunter will discuss options and try methods alongside each client. Together they decide which tools fit the client's goals, preferences, and daily life, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging works for people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats give options for steady progress without adding travel time or major schedule changes.
