Anna Evans, LCPC, LPC

Anna Evans is a licensed clinician who helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and substance use concerns. She brings 24 years of experience to each session and focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. Many clients come for help after major life changes or when chronic illness or caregiver stress become overwhelming.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered conversations to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Trauma-focused methods and motivational interviewing are used when clients need support processing difficult events or finding motivation to change.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and doable strategies. People learn tools for better sleep, managing mood, reducing substance use, and coping with heavy emotions. She also works with those facing career strain, compassion fatigue, or the stress that comes with aging and caregiving.

Anna holds licenses as an LCPC and an LPC for Illinois and Wisconsin and has additional certificates in grief work and insomnia. She has experience supporting first responders and other helping professionals who are dealing with stress and burnout.

Her style is warm and pragmatic. Conversations focus on what is most pressing and what can change in the next week or month. The aim is better daily functioning and clearer steps toward long-term goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals guide the work and they set the pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then work together to choose or blend methods that seem most useful. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people see nonverbal cues for richer conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact when in-person visits aren’t practical.
