About Samantha Evans
Samantha Evans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who brings a practical, strengths-focused approach to therapy. She earned a Bachelor of Science from Bemidji State University in 2012 and completed a graduate degree in Rehabilitation Counseling at St. Cloud State University in 2016. Early in her career she managed group homes and adult foster care programs supporting individuals with behavioral and developmental disabilities, and later moved into school-based and community mental health roles.
From work as a CTSS practitioner and ARMHS provider to serving as a Mental Health Professional and clinical trainee in 2018, Samantha has delivered individual psychotherapy across school, office, and online settings. She provided both individual and group therapy for teenagers at a local juvenile detention center for eight months and has experience collaborating with crisis response teams to conduct assessments and stabilization services. Samantha holds national certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, bringing targeted skills for trauma-related concerns.
Much of her clinical experience centers on adolescents and young adults coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life-stage transitions, though her practice also addresses stress, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, ADHD, and workplace challenges. Her therapeutic style is laid back and strengths-based - she helps clients identify existing resources and practice them to navigate everyday obstacles. Samantha balances a Monday through Friday adult mental health case manager role with returning to online therapy after a brief hiatus. She welcomes questions from prospective clients and aims to tailor support to individual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Samantha Evans
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports self-directed growth. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions by building on each person’s strengths and values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and developing concrete coping strategies for everyday challenges.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and strategies to reduce reactivity to stress. Simple mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and improved focus for issues such as workplace stress, anger, and ADHD.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques over time so therapy fits each person’s life and priorities. Licensed professionals often blend methods to match what works best for an individual.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when life changes, and access a therapist from different locations while working collaboratively toward goals.
