About Betty
Betty Burns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of practice in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people find purpose and greater satisfaction in everyday life. She meets clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and encourages small, practical steps toward change.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and childhood abuse, addiction, and relationship struggles. She also helps with parenting strain, caregiving stress, workplace problems, and questions about life purpose. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation and goals.
Betty blends Client-Centered Therapy with attachment-focused ideas and cognitive strategies. That means sessions often begin with listening closely to what matters most to the client and building on their strengths. When needed she adds ways to notice and shift thought patterns and to process difficult memories related to trauma.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She works to make therapy practical by setting clear goals, trying new behavioral steps between sessions, and checking what helps. Betty invites curiosity about patterns in relationships and daily routines and helps people practice changes in real life.
Taking a first step can feel hard. She frames therapy as a cooperative process where the client’s preferences guide the plan. Betty aims to support steady progress toward more comfortable relationships, improved mood, and a clearer sense of purpose.
