About Samantha

Samantha Evans is an LPCC based in Minnesota who works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, anger, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based, relaxed style that emphasizes practical skills and personal resources while helping clients build coping strategies for workplace challenges, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress. Evans earned a Bachelor of Science from Bemidji State University and completed graduate training in Rehabilitation Counseling at St.

Cloud State University. Her early career included managing group homes and adult foster care, and she has provided individual and group psychotherapy in school, office, and correctional settings.

That background informs an approach that blends client-centered listening with structured interventions to address immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. Her work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and solution-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.

With three years of documented professional experience and a history of both in-person and online practice, she aims to help clients identify strengths and apply them to real-life challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Client-centered therapy places the client's experience and goals at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and collaboration to help people clarify values and make meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and self-compassion techniques that can help with stress, emotional regulation, and responding to difficult thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access care from home. These formats support continuity of care and allow clients to use the communication style that best suits their daily life while working with licensed professionals to address stress, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship challenges.
