Hunter Burns , LPC

Hunter Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with four years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She draws on a combination of clinical approaches to support work on depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, eating and body-image issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and coaching for life changes.

Hunter views each person as the expert of their own story and aims to build on existing strengths to address the obstacles that brought them to therapy. She works collaboratively to identify goals and practical strategies, whether the focus is on substance or process addiction, obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, sex addiction, communication difficulties, or women's issues. Her practice also addresses intimacy and sexual concerns alongside broader relationship dynamics.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Hunter acknowledges the effort involved in beginning that process. As an LPC she combines evidence-informed techniques with a respectful, strength-based stance to help clients move toward greater stability and self-love. She is accepting new clients in Mississippi and provides services in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective skills and coping strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hunter works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time to reflect progress and changing priorities. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individual circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and many clients also use live chat or text-based messaging for check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, work, or while traveling, and to fit therapy into a busy life.
