Ginger Burns

Ginger Burns is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida and Georgia with 9 years of experience in therapy. She brings a background in secondary education and clinical social work to her practice, having worked as a secondary teacher and as a mental health therapist over more than a decade in helping professions.

Her specialties include stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, bipolar disorder, coaching, and ADHD. Since 2013 she has focused primarily on providing mental health services to adults, while sometimes working with teenagers and children.

For the past five years she has provided behavioral health services to CONUS and OCONUS active-duty military members, their dependents, and retirees. During a typical week she offers counseling for concerns such as depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, increased stress reactions, insomnia, suicidality, PTSD, life goals, ADHD, chronic illnesses and pain, relationship issues, grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, and related challenges.

Ginger uses a client-centered approach that places each person’s goals and expectations at the center of care. She helps clients build on existing strengths to create measurable steps toward their desired outcomes, often uncovering abilities that had been overlooked or unused. Therapy is offered through evidence-based methods and can be short-term and solution-focused or longer term psychotherapy depending on the individual’s needs and preferences.

Clients can expect a respectful, accepting, and nonjudgmental space when working with her. She values appropriate moments of humor and finds it humbling to support people during vulnerable periods. Ginger earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with a specialization in science from Kennesaw State University and a Master of Social Work with a concentration in mental health. She is licensed to practice as a clinical social worker in both Florida and Georgia and is based in Florida.

She looks forward to assisting individuals as they move toward improved well-being and clearer next steps on their journey.
