About Zatascha

Zatascha Burton, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Parents and adults looking for clear guidance often find her steady presence helpful.

She uses a mix of therapies to fit each person’s needs. Sessions often include skills to manage strong emotions, ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. EMDR is also part of her toolkit when past trauma keeps affecting the present.

Background and approach

Her work pays attention to identity and culture. She offers support around LGBT concerns, multicultural issues, and challenges tied to roles and life transitions. She also addresses relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and career questions in straightforward, goal-focused ways.

With 14 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, she draws on evidence-based methods while keeping conversations warm and personal. She aims to help people improve communication, cope with attachment wounds, and find clearer paths forward. Practical matters are part of the plan.

Many clients use tools learned in sessions between meetings, such as breathing practices, behavior changes, or communication strategies. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's pace, reflects what comes up, and helps clarify goals and values over video or text.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It works well online because clients can practice specific exercises between sessions and review progress in follow-ups.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for managing intense feelings. These step-by-step tools fit naturally into teletherapy and can be taught through short coaching, worksheets, and real-time practice during calls or messages.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, then try methods that suit the client's needs. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a simple alternative, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins and between-session coaching. These options make it easier to keep steady momentum and use skills when they are needed most.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
