About Shwanna

Shwanna Burton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to support clients facing life changes, career strain, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and mood-related issues such as bipolar disorder. Her work also addresses a wide range of related concerns including attachment and abandonment difficulties, codependency, anger and control issues, and the emotional effects of illness and caregiving.

Shwanna emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can express thoughts and feelings honestly. She uses client-centered principles to build collaborative goals, alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotion regulation and interpersonal techniques from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Sessions aim to combine real-world strategies with empathic listening so people can develop clearer coping skills and move toward the changes they want. Taking the first step into therapy often requires courage, and she encourages anyone ready to begin that process to reach out and explore whether her approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Shwanna integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client guides the pace and goals, which helps when exploring emotions like grief, shame, or relationship concerns. CBT offers structured techniques for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which combination of empathic listening, skill-building, and behavioral strategies fits their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as needs evolve during treatment.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what best supports progress.
