About Samantha
Samantha Evans is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with three years of post-licensure clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationships, family issues, grief, anger, and ADHD. Samantha has worked with adolescents and young adults most of her career and also has experience with workplace and communication problems.
She began in mental health after earning a Bachelor of Science from Bemidji State University and then completed graduate work in Rehabilitation Counseling at St. Cloud State University. Early roles included managing group homes and adult foster care and providing school-based clinical therapeutic support services. Her background includes work as an ARMHS worker and as a Mental Health Professional and clinical trainee, with both individual and group therapy experience in office, school, detention, and online settings.
Samantha uses practical, strengths-based steps in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries different ways to respond. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach alongside client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods.
She has national certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and has worked with a crisis response team on assessments and stabilization. Much of her direct practice has involved adolescents and young adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns.
Currently she works weekdays as an adult mental health case manager and is returning to online therapy. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and may ask questions about her approach and experience.
How Samantha integrates CBT, client-centered and mindfulness work online
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It uses short exercises and concrete practice to reduce worry, low mood, and unhelpful avoidance. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their goals and values. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust them based on what helps. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so practical steps and personal reflection can work together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules demand, and allow use of audio-only or video when that suits someone better. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these choices to match treatment to a client's needs and daily life.
