About Hunter
Hunter Burns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, body image struggles, and issues with self-esteem.
Hunter believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She treats each person with respect and asks questions to understand what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as narrative and solution-focused methods. That means she will work on thoughts and behaviors, values-based choices, emotion regulation skills, and stories people tell about themselves. Techniques are presented in clear, everyday language and tailored to a person’s goals.
Hunter has four years of clinical experience in settings that involved helping people with addiction, obsessive behaviors, post-traumatic stress, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. She mixes skill-building with compassionate listening so clients can practice new ways of coping. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats to fit different schedules and comfort levels.
The first meetings lay out goals and a plan so people know what to expect from ongoing work together.

Approach, methods, and online sessions
Hunter uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and focuses on identifying values and taking small committed actions toward a life that matters to the client. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hunter will talk through options with each person, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels helpful. The goal is to match methods to the client’s needs, values, and short-term goals rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work visually and practice skills together. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or for those who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving routine, or a busy life while still working on anger, addiction, mood, and relationship concerns.
