About Ann
Ann Bevan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related issues. She also supports people facing postpartum challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues related to HIV/AIDS and end-of-life care.
Ann uses straightforward conversation and listening to understand what is most pressing for each person. She draws on several approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness, to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions focus on what the person wants to address now and on practical steps they can take between meetings.
Her background includes graduate training in social work and a variety of roles supporting people with medical and loss-related concerns. That experience informs how she approaches grief, hospice and end-of-life issues, and chronic stress. Ann also works with process addictions and phobias, and addresses prejudice and discrimination as part of a person’s context.
In sessions she tends to move at a steady, respectful pace. Conversations can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding or mindfulness, and looking at attachment patterns that affect relationships. She may suggest short exercises to try between sessions and then review how those felt.
If someone is thinking about starting, the first step is a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Ann offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients.
How sessions work
How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness shape online work
Ann commonly blends attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence how people connect now and can help with intimacy-related worries and family stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about current concerns, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
This profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, limit travel, or choose shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also allows practicing mindfulness or CBT skills in real life between meetings and returning to discuss what worked and what did not.
