About Evan

LMHC in Florida with six years' experience, Evan Burton works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, self‑esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting, anger, and bipolar disorder. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, body image, codependency, communication and commitment problems, substance and process addictions, and related mood and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Evan provides care in English.

Evan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused ideas. He chooses methods based on how a person responds in sessions and adjusts if something does not fit. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical connections among thoughts, feelings, and actions.

In sessions he helps people notice patterns that influence mood and behavior. He has run groups teaching CBT skills and coping strategies, and has led family groups for loved ones of people with substance use or eating disorders. Those experiences shape how he explains skills and sets simple practice tasks between meetings.

Evan emphasizes a straightforward, person-driven process. He avoids pushing a single technique when it does not help. Instead he and the client decide together which approaches to try and when to change course.

The first meetings typically clarify goals and identify small, attainable steps. Later work often focuses on skill practice, talking through difficult moments, and building habits that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Evan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and between-session practice. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a persons reasons for change, using questions and reflection to strengthen commitment and resolve ambivalence.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas alongside mindfulness practices to help people accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and small actions that align with those values. These approaches tend to suit anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, and problems with motivation or behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Evan will review needs, goals, and preferences with the person and try methods that fit. If a technique does not help, he adjusts the plan together with the client.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family commitments, offer shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people sustain regular meetings and practice skills between sessions.
