01About Burton
Burton Carriker is a licensed professional counselor with 36 years of experience. He centers sessions on respect for each person’s beliefs and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, family tensions, parenting, career worries, and depression. He listens first and assumes clients know their own stories best.
That means sessions focus on building practical steps and using each person’s strengths to manage problems. He says faith matters to him and will be respectful of a client’s spiritual views as part of care.
Background and approach
Burton draws on approaches that are evidence based and practical. He helps people sort communication problems, control issues, and workplace stress into manageable pieces. He also supports people facing divorce or separation, money and financial issues, and questions about life purpose.
Conversations often include tackling guilt, shame, forgiveness, and men’s issues in straightforward ways. He works with parents on specific parenting concerns and with people trying to balance career and family demands. Sessions aim to create clear next steps rather than staying stuck on problems.
Burton practices in Georgia as an LPC, and he offers sessions in English. He encourages anyone who feels unsure about starting to take the first step and recognizes that signing up for therapy can take real courage.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Burton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on improving communication and solving specific relationship or family problems through clear, teachable skills and step-by-step practice.Choosing which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to figure out what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation includes trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
