Evan Burton, LMHC

Evan Burton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with six years of experience. He welcomes people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, substance and process addictions, body image concerns, and trauma and abuse. Evan emphasizes a practical, person-focused approach and aims to adapt to each person's needs rather than sticking to one method.

He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Evan pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people learn small changes that make daily life easier. He has led groups teaching CBT and coping skills and has experience running family groups for loved ones of people with substance use or eating disorders.

Evan describes therapy as a collaborative journey. He checks how an approach is working and changes course if it isn’t helping. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clear goals, and building strategies that match each person's routine and values.

He also addresses related topics such as parenting strain, men's issues, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, and communication problems. His work includes support for panic and mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and recovery from addictive behaviors.

Evan encourages honesty and curiosity in sessions and supports people in finding what helps them goal by goal. He aims to help clients make steady, workable changes and to leave therapy with tools they can use day to day.

How Evan’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with panic, mood symptoms, and compulsive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change and is commonly used when addressing substance use and other habit-driven concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Evan works together with each person to see which methods fit their needs and goals. He watches how a technique lands and will change direction if something isn’t working, so the plan is tailored over time.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it reduces travel time, can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and helps people continue care from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and motivational interviewing to an online setting to focus on skills practice, values-driven goals, and step-by-step change without promising a particular format.
