Evan Burton, LMHC

Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who practices in Florida with six years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and concerns around self-esteem and relationships. Evan takes a practical, down-to-earth approach and focuses on helping people make changes that feel useful in daily life.

He mixes several approaches and tailors them to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing are tools he often uses. Evan pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and helps clients experiment with small changes to break unhelpful patterns.

Evan has led groups teaching coping skills and CBT techniques, and he has experience running family groups for loved ones of people with substance use or eating concerns. That group work informs how he structures tasks and practice between sessions. He looks for practical skills clients can try between appointments.

His style is collaborative: he checks in about what’s working and adjusts if needed. He avoids one-size-fits-all plans and prefers to adapt based on each person’s response. People who value clear steps and someone who listens may find this approach helpful.

Evan also addresses issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, body image, process and substance addictions, and parenting or fatherhood concerns. He encourages honest conversation and takes time to help people clarify goals and next steps.

How Evan Uses ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, low motivation, and patterns that keep someone stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems by teaching practical skills to test and shift thinking.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so goals emerge from the person’s own priorities. This approach supports people who need space to explore difficult topics at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Evan will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He adjusts the plan when something is not helping, so therapy stays focused and useful.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to follow through on homework and practice when sessions are easier to schedule, and Evan aims to make online sessions practical and goal-oriented.
