Ginger Burns, LCSW, CSW

Ginger Burns, LCSW, CSW, welcomes adults who are rethinking major life directions or feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleep problems, or career uncertainty. She writes plainly and works with clients to set clear goals. People find her direct but warm, and she aims to help clients move toward practical changes in day-to-day life.

She uses a client-centered approach that starts with the person's goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, from coping strategies to goal setting. Ginger combines evidence-based methods with a down-to-earth style and occasional humor when it fits the moment.

Ginger earned a Master of Social Work with a mental health focus and previously taught secondary science. She holds clinical social work licenses in Florida and Georgia. Over nine years she has provided behavioral health services in civilian and military settings, including work with active-duty service members, dependents, and retirees.

In typical weeks she addresses depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, chronic pain and illness, grief, workplace stress, and midlife changes among other concerns. She tailors treatment length to the person's needs, offering both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term therapy when helpful.

Her style centers on identifying strengths and creating measurable steps toward change. Clients are invited to help choose which evidence-based techniques to use, such as cognitive strategies, mindfulness, or values-based work. This collaborative process guides practical progress toward the goals you set.

How evidence-based methods work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. It often suits people facing life changes or midlife questions who want a clear sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and workplace stress by teaching tools to test thoughts and build new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful, trying techniques in session, and adjusting based on what helps in daily life.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It also lets people practice skills in the contexts where they live and work, so progress can feel immediately relevant.
