Burnout Therapy in Johnson City, TN & Telehealth across TN/VA
Burnout isn’t a personal failure; it’s a nervous system stuck in overdrive. If you’re running on empty, second-guessing everything, and wondering why rest never feels “earned,” therapy can help you slow the cycle and rebuild a life that fits your values.
If these hit home, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. There’s a steadier way forward.
I use practical, evidence-based approaches tailored to your goals:
We pace the work so changes are sustainable—not another thing to perfect.
You’ll meet by secure video from a private space you choose. We’ll map your burnout cycle, identify early warning signs, and create a short plan for daily recovery—sleep, focus, movement, and genuine rest. Between sessions, you’ll try small experiments that fit real life, not a fantasy schedule.
Some people come for focused skills over 6–8 sessions; others stay longer to untangle deeper patterns (perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic stress). We’ll decide together based on your goals and what’s working for you.
I work with adults in Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and the Tri-Cities—and via secure telehealth across Tennessee and Virginia. If burnout travels with anxiety or trauma, we can address that too.

What burnout feels like
- In your body: brain fog, tension, headaches, poor sleep, constant fatigue
- In your mood: irritability, guilt, feeling “never enough,” numbness or dread
- At work or school: procrastination, perfectionism, over-functioning, or “checking out”
- In relationships: short fuse, pulling away, saying yes when you mean no
If these hit home, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. There’s a steadier way forward.
How therapy helps with burnout
I use practical, evidence-based approaches tailored to your goals:- ACT to notice thoughts/urges without getting pulled under—and choose values-based actions
- CBT to challenge all-or-nothing thinking and build doable routines
- Mindfulness & regulation to calm your nervous system with simple, repeatable resets
- Boundary & communication skills so you can protect energy without guilt
- EMDR-informed work when unresolved stress or trauma keeps burnout in place
We pace the work so changes are sustainable—not another thing to perfect.

Do you write notes for FMLA or medical leave?
When clinically appropriate, I can provide documentation for your healthcare team; we’ll discuss options together.
