Shwanna Burton, LPC

Shwanna Burton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, anger, bipolar challenges, and aging and geriatric issues. Her first goal is to make it easier to take the next step toward feeling better.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard things. Sessions focus on practical conversation and skills people can use between meetings. Shwanna listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals.

Her approach draws on client-centered work that centers the person's experience, cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions. She tailors these methods to what each person needs and prefers. The focus is on clear steps and useful tools rather than labels.

Shwanna has six years of experience in clinical settings and brings that background to each meeting. She aims to be steady and straightforward while offering empathy and respect. People who choose therapy with her will find a calm, practical partner for working through change.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and aims to build trust by listening and reflecting what matters most. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and reactions; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose which approaches to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Methods can be blended over time so the work stays focused and useful.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example, a shorter check-in can fit a lunch break, and fewer travel demands free up time for consistent care. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling, session length, and what will work best for routine and accessibility.
