About Betty
Betty Burns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, addiction, parenting stress, ADHD, and related life challenges. Her practice focuses on practical help for everyday problems and clearer next steps.
She frames sessions as straightforward conversations. She listens to what is happening now, what has been tried, and what the client wants to change. Together she and the client set short-term goals and plan realistic steps to reach them. Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and talking through painful memories when needed.
Her background spans private practice and remote work across nearly two decades. That experience includes helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses workplace stress, caregiver strain, blended family issues, codependency, and struggles with substance use and eating patterns.
Betty uses multiple clinical approaches depending on the issue. She draws on attachment-based perspectives to look at how relationships shape behavior. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and trauma-focused work when addressing histories of abuse.
Language of care is English and sessions are provided in Tennessee. To begin, readers are encouraged to review online therapy options and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule a first meeting.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Betty uses attachment-based ideas to map how relationship patterns affect daily life and emotional reactions. That approach helps when difficulties repeat in close relationships or show up in parenting and workplace interactions. Client-centered work keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change, using conversation to clarify priorities and next steps. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has helped before, and decide together which methods to try first. Adjustments happen over time based on what the client reports and how progress looks.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is easier fitting of therapy into a busy life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online meetings can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and let someone join from a quieter setting without needing a long commute. These practical options can make it simpler to keep regular sessions while juggling family, work, and health demands.
