About Jennifer

Jennifer Evans is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship trouble, career strain, addiction issues, ADHD, anger, and major life changes.

She uses a person-centered style in sessions. That means conversations start with what the person brings and build from there. Jennifer adds clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and provides practical psychoeducation. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and learning skills to manage strong emotions when they appear.

Her background includes a master’s in Art Therapy from Eastern Virginia Medical School and an undergraduate degree from Florida State University. Growing up in Florida and moving often as a military spouse shaped her work with people facing repeated transitions and losses. That experience informs how she talks about attachment, abandonment, and caregiver stress.

In practice she mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas with attachment-based thinking and emotionally focused approaches. That blend aims to help people notice what matters to them, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen close relationships. Jennifer emphasizes building resilience and practical strategies rather than abstract concepts.

Sessions typically include skill practice and brief psychoeducation. Clients will often work on clearer communication, managing anger or overwhelm, and creating step-by-step plans for coping with stress. The focus is on useful tools that fit into everyday life rather than long theoretical explanations.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. It is useful for stress, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. It is practical for managing anger triggers and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people rewrite those patterns in closer relationships.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Jennifer treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That conversation shapes session focus and homework so therapy feels relevant and doable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family by reducing travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins, quieter sessions when possible, or not being on camera if that helps someone engage more. Licensed professionals often find these practical benefits helpful for sticking with the work and applying skills between sessions.
