About Evan

Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of practice. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, relationships, trauma, grief, eating issues, and problems with self-esteem.

Evan uses practical, talk-based work to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered ideas while also using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those fit. He adapts his approach based on how clients respond and will change methods if something does not feel helpful.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on what someone wants to change. Evan has led groups teaching CBT and coping skills, and has experience running groups for loved ones of people with substance use or eating issues. That group work informs his individual approach to problem-solving and communication.

He emphasizes simple skills people can try between sessions, such as noticing thought patterns, testing unhelpful assumptions, and small behavior experiments to see what changes. He also supports people dealing with process addictions, panic, OCD symptoms, and mood instability by using structured tools alongside conversational work.

Evan frames therapy as a practical effort rather than a one-size-fits-all program. He invites collaboration on goals and adjusts methods so sessions stay useful and relevant to each person.

How sessions work

How Evan’s approaches translate to online work

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to see what shifts. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-guided action so people can make meaningful changes even when difficult feelings remain.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. Evan treats approach selection as a collaborative decision. He will try methods, check how they land, and adjust based on the client’s goals, pace, and comfort with techniques.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help people practice skills between meetings and keep momentum on managing anger, mood, or substance-related concerns.
