About Hunter
Hunter Burns is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who assists people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, intimacy challenges, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
She draws on strengths-based work to help clients address relationship difficulties, grief, eating and body image concerns, anger, self-esteem, and a range of process and substance-related addictions. Hunter emphasizes that each person knows their story best and that existing strengths can be important resources in change.
Her style blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with collaborative, client-centered care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core element of her work, paired with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused strategies when appropriate.
With four years of professional experience, she aims to meet people where they are, offering coaching-oriented support alongside therapy to help clients move toward clearer goals and healthier daily habits. Hunter welcomes those ready to begin despite the initial courage it requires and guides new clients through intake and scheduling.
Her approach is direct yet compassionate, focusing on actionable steps while honoring each person's unique path.
Online Therapy Approaches and Practical Options
Hunter integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits, offering concrete skills clients can practice between sessions. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and developing psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful change. DBT skills are also used at times to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies that support stability and better interpersonal functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore which methods align best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies over time to maximize usefulness and fit. The aim is to tailor interventions so clients feel involved in planning and can track progress in ways that matter to them.
Online therapy with her offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care around work and life demands. These options allow people to maintain momentum between sessions, practice new skills in real time, and choose formats that suit their comfort and schedule.
