About Samantha
Samantha Evans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage strong feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.
Samantha’s early career began after a Bachelor of Science from Bemidji State University. She moved into rehabilitation counseling at St. Cloud State University and then into school-based and community mental health roles. Those roles included working in group homes, adult foster care, and juvenile detention programming, and provided direct experience with teens and young adults.
Her background includes work as a school-based CTSS practitioner, an ARMHS worker, and a mental health professional and clinical trainee. She has provided both individual and group therapy and supported crisis response efforts, including assessments and short-term stabilization. She also holds national certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and has experience applying trauma-focused approaches.
Samantha describes her style as laid back and strengths-based. She helps people identify personal strengths and practice using them to handle stressful moments, communication problems, workplace strain, and relationship tension. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on skills that can be used between meetings.
Currently she works as an adult mental health case manager and is returning to online therapy to gain more experience with adult clients. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats that are offered.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Samantha uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the individual. That approach means conversations are guided by the person's goals and experiences, which can help with anger, relationship tension, and self-esteem concerns.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns that feed strong emotions and to teach practical skills. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and anger management because it introduces step-by-step techniques people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on a single technique. That includes adjusting pace and focus as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also shift between skills practice, guided reflection, and goal setting in an online session to match what the client needs that week.
