About Anna
Anna Evans is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic insomnia, substance use, chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, and life changes such as relationship loss.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions often begin by listening to what is most urgent. Then she and the client map practical next steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Conversations are concrete and goal-oriented rather than abstract or theoretical.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means attention to how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings, and collaborative problem solving to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses trauma-focused work when past events continue to cause distress, and motivational interviewing to support change with substances or behaviors.
Anna has particular experience supporting first responders and other mental health providers, and she has completed certificates in grief work, insomnia, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She frames therapy as a place to work through pressing problems and build practical coping skills. Progress is measured in small, manageable steps rather than dramatic promises.
People seeking help for caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, or overwhelming life shifts may find her approach useful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and how scheduling works to make sure it fits their routine.
How sessions work
Approach and what online sessions look like
Anna uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps with making sense of life changes and clarifying goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and insomnia.She also incorporates trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to affect daily life, and motivational interviewing to support change around substance use or difficult habits. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's situation, adjusting as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Try scheduling a first session to see how the format and therapeutic approach fit with your routine and needs.
