Evan Burton

Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, and self-esteem concerns. He aims to meet people where they are and adjust his approach when something is not fitting the client's needs.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on what a person responds to. Evan emphasizes practical skills and clear, usable steps rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

In sessions he listens first, then suggests tools that match the client's goals. If a method isn’t helping, he changes course rather than pushing it. He has experience running groups focused on CBT skills and on supporting loved ones of people with substance use or eating issues.

Evan describes therapy as a collaborative journey. He encourages honest, open conversation and works with each person to set realistic goals. He stresses that counseling can help with life problems as well as diagnosed conditions.

People often come to him looking for ways to cope with trauma, relationship strain, grief, or compulsive behaviors. He aims to help clients build practical coping strategies and clearer daily routines to reduce distress and support steady progress.

How Evan’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without being driven by them and focus on values-based action, which can reduce anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to teach specific skills for managing anxiety, mood, and compulsive patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps when someone feels stuck about making change, such as with substance use or unhealthy habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Evan treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help a person decide what techniques to try based on goals and how they respond. If an approach doesn’t fit, he adjusts plans rather than insisting one method be followed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to practice skills in the situations where they actually occur and then discuss what happened in the next session. Evan uses his clinical approaches to shape remote sessions so they focus on concrete steps and skills that carry over into daily life.
