About Evan
Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, eating problems, parenting, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and focused on practical change rather than labels.
Evan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered approaches, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. He pays attention to how a person responds in session and adjusts his methods when something is not working. That means sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.
He has led groups teaching CBT and coping skills and has run family groups for loved ones of people with substance use or eating problems. Those group experiences inform his individual work, especially when someone is learning new communication or relapse-prevention skills. Evan emphasizes clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior so clients can make small changes that matter.
Evan describes therapy as a collaborative process. He aims to help people set concrete goals and try practical steps in everyday life. If a particular technique doesn’t fit, he shifts course rather than insisting on one method.
He also works with topics such as body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, panic and mood disorders, process addictions, and fatherhood issues. For people who want straightforward, action-focused sessions about anger or related struggles, he offers a pragmatic, problem-solving approach.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. It can help with anger that comes from feeling stuck or from ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to test new responses to triggering situations. CBT is useful for learning practical skills to manage outbursts or recurring patterns.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress during sessions. If a technique does not fit, he will try another way rather than insisting on one method.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Some formats work better for skill practice with worksheets, while others suit a short motivational conversation. Talk with him about which arrangement fits your schedule and the kind of work you want to do.
