Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hunter Burns routinely draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed actions aligned with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being overwhelmed by them - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change those patterns and related behaviors, which often supports symptom relief for anxiety and mood concerns.

Hunter also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when appropriate to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hunter collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling, allow sessions from home or other convenient locations, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy. These options enable licensed professionals to adapt their work to the pace and style that fit each client.
