About Ginger Burns
Ginger Burns appreciates when someone takes the time to explore therapy as a step toward change. She meets people at various points - whether facing an acute stressor, working on relapse prevention or maintenance, or trying to determine the next steps in their journey - and believes that collaborative work can lead to meaningful results.
She approaches each person with respect and acceptance in a nonjudgmental environment. Vulnerable moments are common in therapeutic work, and she treats those moments with humility. She also believes appropriate humor can be a helpful element of care and will use it when it fits the moment.
Ginger is a clinical social worker licensed in Florida and Georgia, holding the credentials LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW, a clinical social work credential. Her professional background includes more than a decade of service in helping roles, including work as a secondary teacher and as a mental health therapist. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with a specialization in science and a Master of Social Work with a mental health focus from Kennesaw State University.
For the past five years she has provided behavioral health services to active-duty military members, their dependents, and retirees both within the continental United States (CONUS) and overseas (OCONUS). In a typical week she provides counseling for a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, increased stress reactions, insomnia, suicidality, PTSD, life-goal planning, ADHD, chronic illness and pain, relationship issues, grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, and related challenges.
Her treatment stance is client-centered, placing each person's expectations and goals at the core of the work. She helps clients build on existing strengths to set measurable goals that serve as stepping-stones toward desired outcomes, often helping people rediscover strengths they had not accessed before. Therapy with her is guided by measurable outcomes and evidence-based methods, and together she and the client determine whether a longer-term psychotherapy approach or a shorter-term, solution-focused plan is the best fit. Since 2013 she has focused primarily on adult clients while at times working with teenagers and children, and she draws on a range of professional experiences across medical and mental health disciplines and military settings to inform her practice.
