Shwanna Burton , LPC

Shwanna Burton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She supports adults working through stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating relationship challenges, and managing grief and loss. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional validation to help clients move toward clearer thinking and steadier daily functioning.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly, and she partners with clients to identify goals and steps that feel achievable. The LPC credential indicates that she has met state requirements for professional counseling and is trained to provide therapeutic care. Shwanna acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and recognizes each initial step as meaningful progress on the path to improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Shwanna draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship that centers the client's perspective and values - this approach helps when people need a supportive space to explore feelings and personal priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - CBT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients struggling with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shwanna works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions so treatment feels relevant and doable. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the focus as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow clients to connect from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists to move toward their goals.
