Anna Evans, LCPC, LPC

Anna Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience practicing in Illinois. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic insomnia, substance use, caregiver stress, and responses to major life changes such as relationship loss. Anna also lists anger among her areas of focus and supports people dealing with stress and relationship strain.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what the person brings to sessions and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when people are making changes related to substance use or health behaviors.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable strategies. For sleep problems she draws on methods aimed at insomnia and routines. For grief and caregiver stress she offers ways to process losses and manage daily demands. For addiction-related issues she works on motivation and stepwise change.

Anna has worked with first responders and other mental health professionals, and she notes experience across chronic illness, disability, and end-of-life concerns. Her background includes grief and insomnia certificates alongside CBT training, which she brings into focused, task-oriented conversations.

People who reach out can expect a practitioner who centers practical steps and collaborative planning. She encourages asking about what will fit into day-to-day life and what goals matter most before scheduling work together.
