About Anna
Anna Evans is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Illinois and Wisconsin with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people cope with depression and anxiety, grief and loss, chronic insomnia, substance use, chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, and life changes such as relationship loss. She also has experience working with first responders and other mental health providers.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and trauma-focused work. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different ways of responding, and building day-to-day skills that reduce distress.
Anna draws on training in grief work, insomnia interventions, and CBT to address concrete problems like sleep disruption and substance use. She combines motivational interviewing when people need help making changes and existential ideas when people face questions about meaning and purpose. The work tends to be structured and goal-focused rather than open-ended.
She frames therapy as a collaboration. People set goals together and track small steps toward those goals. Practical tools, homework between sessions, and clear discussion of progress are common parts of the process.
Sessions are offered in English. Anna practices from Illinois and holds both IL LCPC and WI LPC credentials. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site.
How Anna Uses Practical Approaches for Remote Sessions
Anna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is goal-oriented and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep people stuck.She also draws on client-centered methods, which focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. For trauma-related issues she applies trauma-focused techniques that concentrate on reducing triggers and improving coping skills. These approaches are selected to match the presenting problem and the person's preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, or a mix of methods.
Confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are listed on the platform. Online sessions can make it easier to fit regular work into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If video is difficult, discuss alternatives when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and daily routines.
