About Samantha
Samantha Evans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She meets people in a calm, strengths-focused way and helps them find practical steps to feel steadier in day-to-day life. Samantha draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person.
She uses client-centered methods to build a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques and narrative tools are woven in to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult stories. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science from Bemidji State University and graduate training in rehabilitation counseling from St. Cloud State University.
She has worked in group homes, foster care settings, schools, and juvenile detention programming. That variety shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Samantha spent several years providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents and young adults, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, and common transitional issues.
She has experience with crisis response work and stabilization assessments. More recently she has worked as an adult mental health case manager while preparing to return to online therapy. In sessions she keeps things straightforward and strength-based.
Conversations focus on concrete skills people can try between meetings. She invites questions and works with each person to make a plan that fits their daily life.
Approaches for online anxiety and life-change work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and decide small next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable pieces and teaches skills for spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it creates practical strategies to test in daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Those tools can help with racing thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and grounding during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan over time if needed.
Online therapy makes these approaches flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option that can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in quickly, share updates, and receive brief coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
