About Betty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 19 years of experience, Betty Burns helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions, and related concerns.
Betty works with individuals and couples. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused methods to address practical problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and on skills people can use between meetings.
Her approach is straightforward. Betty listens to the immediate concerns, then outlines steps clients can try. She uses talk, behavior-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. Sessions often include homework and simple exercises to practice in daily life.
Over nearly two decades in private practice and online, she has supported people through grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, life transitions, and recovery from substance use. Her work also covers intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Betty explains clinical ideas in plain language and develops treatment plans collaboratively. She aims to help people build coping skills, manage symptoms, and improve relationships. To begin, she asks clients to describe current problems and goals so sessions can focus on what matters most.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds affect present relationships. This approach can help with intimacy problems, family of origin issues, and tracking patterns that repeat in close relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative conversation. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood while they work on practical change.Choosing an approach is part of the process. Betty will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs change. The therapist and client set targets together and check progress regularly.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel and allowing sessions during breaks, reducing time away from home or work, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the session styles offered so you can pick the one that best fits your schedule and whether you prefer to work with attachment-based, client-centered, or CBT and trauma-focused techniques.
