Hunter Burns, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Hunter

Hunter Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Hunter treats concerns related to relationships, family matters, grief, eating difficulties, anger, and self-esteem.

She also offers coaching around life changes and self-love. Her approach starts with the belief that each person knows their own story best.

Background and approach

She helps people notice strengths and use them to face hard things. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with straightforward tools to try between meetings. Hunter draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She also uses Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people rethink problems and find workable steps forward. These approaches are chosen to match a person’s needs rather than force one style on everyone. With four years of professional experience, Hunter works with a range of concerns from substance and process addictions to obsessive-compulsive patterns and post-traumatic stress.

She pays attention to communication problems, body image, and women's issues when they come up in sessions. Her license number is MS LPC 2918 and she practices in Mississippi. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.

The process begins by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling through the platform.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Hunter commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that hold people back. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and some addiction-related behaviors.

She sees finding the best approach as a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes room for Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas when rethinking problems or setting small, achievable steps.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. These options let people work on communication, coping skills, relapse prevention, or emotional regulation from home or on the go. Flexibility helps parents and caregivers balance appointments with other responsibilities while still getting steady support from a licensed professional.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
