About Anna
Anna Evans is a licensed counselor with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, substance use, caregiver stress, and major life changes. She works with people who are dealing with chronic illness, disability, or the challenges that follow relationship loss.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. Sessions focus on small steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier day to day.
How Anna works
Anna draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors. When trauma or intense loss is present, trauma-focused methods guide gradual healing.
Her background includes work with first responders and other mental health professionals, and she has additional experience addressing caregiver strain and end-of-life concerns. Anna holds licenses as an Illinois LCPC and a Wisconsin LPC, and she brings two decades of practice to each session. People who choose her can expect calm, direct guidance and practical tools.
The focus is on what helps most in daily life, whether that means better sleep, managing mood, reducing substance use, or coping with a major change.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Anna uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where a person’s goals lead the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are designed to fit busy lives. Video calls are useful for in-depth meetings, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule care, manage follow-up, and keep momentum between sessions.
