About Evan
Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. He communicates in plain language and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and codependency concerns. He welcomes discussion about relationship and family challenges and approaches sessions with a collaborative, down-to-earth style.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people see links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also draws on client-centered ideas to keep sessions organized around each person's needs. Motivational Interviewing is part of his toolkit for people facing substance or behavior changes.
In sessions he tailors methods to the person in front of him. If an approach isn’t fitting, he shifts course rather than pressing on. He has led groups teaching CBT skills and has run family groups for loved ones of people dealing with substance use or eating disorders.
Evan emphasizes practical steps and self-reflection. He helps clients practice coping skills and notice patterns that keep problems going. The work aims to be collaborative - goals come from what each person wants to change.
He frames counseling as a process open to anyone, not only those with a diagnosis. He encourages people to try therapy as a place to take risks, learn new habits, and move toward clearer goals. He invites prospective clients to start a conversation about what they hope to achieve.

ACT emphasizes values and committed actions, helping people move toward a meaningful life even when difficult feelings are present.He also works from a client-centered perspective that keeps the person’s goals in the lead. Finding the best approach is a shared process - he will listen to what matters to the client and adjust methods as goals and preferences become clearer. Collaboration guides which techniques are used in sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face contact while others prefer audio when they need less bandwidth or a quicker session. Discussing practical needs during the matching process helps determine the right way to meet.
