Samantha Evans

Samantha Evans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, relationship and communication problems, workplace issues, and ADHD. Her style is relaxed and strengths-focused, aimed at helping people notice what they do well and use those skills in daily life.

She began in behavioral health after earning a Bachelor of Science from Bemidji State University and later completed graduate work in rehabilitation counseling at St. Cloud State University. Early roles included managing group homes and working in school-based programs. Over time she provided individual and group therapy in schools, juvenile detention, office settings, and online platforms.

Samantha has three years of direct clinical experience and has worked with adolescents and young adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, and transitional life concerns. She has experience with crisis response and stabilization, and she has national certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her current weekday role is adult mental health case management, and she is returning to online therapy work.

In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with practical skills. Techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches help with thinking patterns and present-moment coping. Narrative and motivational strategies are used to clarify goals and build momentum toward change.

She invites questions and emphasizes collaboration on goals and methods. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How Samantha uses therapeutic approaches online

Samantha commonly combines client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness ideas in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities so sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment skills and breathing or attention practices to manage anxiety and strong emotions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress and needs become clearer.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible. It can also let people use tools like guided breathing exercises and worksheet-based homework between sessions to build new habits.
