Shonna Burnett, LPC

Shonna Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 15 years of clinical experience practicing in Georgia and Mississippi. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling, and she applies that training to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and motivation.

Her background spans a range of care settings, including work within the Department of Corrections and Juvenile Justice as well as inpatient, acute, outpatient, and residential treatment environments. This variety of experience informs her work with adults and with children and adolescents, offering individual, family, and group therapy depending on each person’s needs.

Shonna integrates evidence-informed tools into her practice, drawing heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) while remaining flexible about the techniques she uses. She selects models, skills, and interventions that best fit the goals of the person she is working with rather than following a single rigid approach.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients can take courageous steps toward greater well-being. Shonna partners with people to build practical skills, strengthen coping strategies, and support progress toward a more fulfilling life.
