About Evan

Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, dealing with addiction, or facing mood and eating concerns. Evan also works with issues like grief, trauma, anger, and challenges around self-esteem and relationships.

He uses straightforward, practical conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try new ways of responding. If an approach doesn’t fit, he adapts the plan rather than sticking to one method.

Evan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered principles, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when appropriate. He has led groups teaching coping skills and CBT techniques, and has experience supporting people affected by substance use and eating disorders.

He believes counseling is a shared process and that small, steady changes add up. Evan aims to help clients set clear goals and practice skills between sessions. He encourages honest conversation and gradual steps toward better everyday habits and thought patterns.

People who choose him can expect a practical, compassionate approach that respects individual differences. He works with each person to find what helps them make real progress in daily life.

How Evan Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps that match those values, while accepting difficult thoughts rather than fighting them. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and when people feel stuck in unhelpful patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or compulsive behaviors.

Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering support and reflection rather than telling someone what to do.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Evan treats approach selection as a collaboration and will try methods that make sense for a person’s goals and needs. If something isn’t helping, he adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use video, phone, or messaging in different ways, so discussing practical preferences helps tailor sessions to daily life.
