About

Saundra Burleson is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina, credentialed to provide professional therapy (license NC LCMHC 12925). She brings 13 years of experience delivering therapeutic services and works with people facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, anger management, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters.

Her approach to counseling is grounded in genuine positive regard and an absence of judgment; she meets each person with respect, compassion, and honesty without assuming where they are or what they need. Using an individualized blend of methods that may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, choice theory, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness practices, and acceptance and commitment therapy, she builds treatment plans tailored to each client.

Ms. Burleson creates a safe environment where clients can explore options with curiosity and collaborate on goals. She offers therapeutic support to help clients move past obstacles that are interfering with the life they want to lead. She sees clients on weekends and maintains a limited number of weeknight appointments; if listed times do not match a client’s needs, she is open to discussing scheduling options.

When someone is ready to take the next step toward therapy, Saundra Burleson invites them to reach out to discuss how she can support their journey.

This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy routine and to maintain continuity of care.
