Therapy for Burnout in Greensboro, NC & Online in North Carolina

Feeling drained, unmotivated, or stuck in survival mode? Burnout therapy can help you recover balance, energy, and a sense of purpose. At Compassionate Voice Counseling, we specialize in supporting professionals, caregivers, and highly sensitive people who are exhausted from doing it all.

What Is Burnout?

Burnout often begins with excitement, you start a new job, career path, or school program with passion, only to discover that the work never ends. Over time, the constant demands leave you feeling:

• Emotionally drained or depleted

• Cynical, jaded, or hopeless about work or relationships

• Physically run down or sick more often

• Trapped in a toxic workplace or struggling with difficult coworkers or supervisors

• Disconnected from joy in your personal life

Burnout doesn’t just sap your energy, it amplifies other struggles. If you live with depression, anxiety, or ADHD, burnout can intensify those challenges and make daily life feel overwhelming.

The World Health Organization defines burnout as a syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress that hasn’t been successfully managed. It is characterized by:

• Exhaustion

• Mental distance or cynicism about one’s job

• Reduced professional effectiveness

This is more than “just being tired.” Burnout is a serious condition that impacts your health, relationships, and sense of self-worth.

How Burnout Therapy Helps

At Compassionate Voice Counseling, we understand both personally and professionally how draining burnout can be. We don’t just focus on “self-care” or quick fixes. Instead, we work with you to:

• Identify the root causes of your burnout, including environmental stressors and systemic pressures

• Explore healthier boundaries in work, family, and relationships

• Reconnect with your body and nervous system for resilience and balance

• Develop strategies that support sustainable well-being, not just temporary relief

As social workers and therapists, we see each client within their whole environment. Burnout is not a personal failure, it’s often the natural response to toxic, oppressive, or unsustainable conditions.

Burnout and Compassion Fatigue

Most Americans are at risk for burnout, but helpers and caregivers face an even higher risk of Compassion Fatigue, sometimes called secondary or vicarious trauma. Compassion Fatigue shows up as:

• Feeling emotionally numb or detached

• Struggling to care for yourself after caring for others

• Losing your sense of purpose in helping work

• Over-identifying with others’ pain to the point of depletion

At Compassionate Voice Counseling, Sabrina Basquez, LCSW, specializes in burnout recovery and Compassion Fatigue treatment. With expertise in working with caregivers, social workers, medical professionals, educators, and parents, she helps clients create sustainable, compassionate ways forward.
