Anna Evans, LCPC, LPC

Anna Evans is a licensed counselor who helps people facing midlife shifts, depression, anxiety, grief, and difficulty sleeping. She works with people struggling with substance use, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and major life changes like relationship loss. Anna brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions.

She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and has practiced for 24 years in Illinois and Wisconsin. Her background includes work with first responders and other mental health professionals. Anna also has training in grief work, insomnia, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which she weaves into session planning.

In sessions she listens closely and builds plans one step at a time. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and what is realistic to try. She uses exercises and small experiments to test new coping strategies for sleep, mood, and stress.

People often come with a mix of concerns, so Anna combines straightforward problem solving with deeper reflection about meaning and values. She helps people sort priorities, manage symptoms, and make choices that fit their current life stage.

Anna emphasizes practical tools alongside open conversation. The aim is to leave each meeting with at least one concrete thing to do differently. That approach helps people make steady progress toward the goals they set together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship where the client's goals drive the work; it helps people clarify values and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and insomnia.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Anna's clinical approaches lend themselves to focused conversations, behavioral experiments, and sleep or mood tracking that can be discussed remotely. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow short check-ins when needed, and support regular homework between meetings. Ask about current session options so you can pick a setup that fits your schedule and daily life.
