About Ginger

Ginger Burns is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, sleep problems, and career concerns. She greets clients with respect and a nonjudgmental style and adds gentle humor when it fits. Ginger emphasizes practical steps and measurable goals to move people forward. She holds a Master of Social Work and brings nearly a decade of clinical experience to her work.

Ginger centers each person’s goals when planning care and uses the client’s own strengths as the starting point. Sessions aim to uncover resources people already have and turn them into usable strategies. She discusses whether short-term solution-focused work or longer-term therapy fits best, depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Her background includes work as a secondary teacher and more than nine years in behavioral health. She has provided services to active-duty military members, dependents, and retirees, and has experience with depression, PTSD, insomnia, ADHD, chronic pain, and caregiving fatigue among other concerns. Ginger draws on that varied experience when shaping treatment plans.

Ginger uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy. Together with clients she builds clear, measurable steps toward better daily functioning and symptom relief. She encourages people to try strategies and adjust them as needed.

Ginger practices in Florida and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. She speaks English and works with adults, with occasional work involving teenagers and children. To begin, she asks people to share goals so a practical plan can be created.

How Ginger Uses Practical Therapies Online

Ginger commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. ACT helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and pick actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, life changes, and chronic health challenges. CBT breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches stepwise skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or insomnia.

She also draws on client-centered and motivational approaches to keep the work collaborative and focused on personal goals. Together the person and therapist decide which methods to try and adapt them over time. Ginger treats finding the right approach as a team effort that starts with your goals and adjusts as you learn what helps.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options when booking.
