About Evan
Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. He sees people for stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting, anger, and bipolar-related struggles.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Evan looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. He prefers practical work in sessions so people can try different responses between meetings.
Evan adapts his method depending on how someone responds in therapy. If an approach does not suit a person, he shifts to another style rather than keep pushing the same tools. He has experience running groups that teach CBT skills and coping strategies, including groups for parents and loved ones affected by substance use or eating disorders.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. That can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and building simple routines that support change. He also draws on mindfulness and acceptance practices to help reduce avoidance and increase flexible responding.
People can expect straightforward, skills-based work aimed at practical changes in daily life. Evan offers work that is collaborative and paced to the individual, with attention to what helps most in real situations.
How CBT and ACT translate to online work
This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on specific skills and short experiments that are easy to practice between sessions, useful for anxiety, mood problems, and compulsive behaviors.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help with avoidance, persistent worry, and motivation issues. Client-centered methods mean sessions pay attention to what the person says about their goals and preferences so the work stays practical and relevant.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Evan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will change course if something is not helpful. That allows the focus to stay on clear, doable steps rather than sticking to a single theory.
