About Samantha
Samantha Evans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and communication problems, workplace strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and life transitions. Samantha writes plainly and aims to make therapy manageable for someone juggling busy days.
She brings three years of post-licensure experience and a background working in schools, detention settings, group homes, and adult foster care.
Background and approach
Early in her career she managed group homes and provided care for people with behavioral and developmental needs. She completed a Bachelor of Science at Bemidji State University and a graduate degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from St. Cloud State University.
Her counseling approach is relaxed and strengths-based. Samantha uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns that cause distress, and mindfulness practices to support grounding. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when those styles fit a person’s goals.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Samantha helps clients spot small changes, practice new responses to anger and stress, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She has experience providing individual and group work with adolescents and young adults, and she has worked in office-based, school-based, and online settings.
Samantha balances a weekday case management role with online therapy work. She invites questions and aims to match treatment to a person’s pace and priorities rather than forcing a single method.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment, helping them name strengths and priorities. It can be useful for people wanting a steady, empathetic space to sort through stress, relationship concerns, or self-esteem struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, anger, depression, and building clearer coping strategies.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support grounding during stressful moments. It is often paired with other work to help with emotional regulation and everyday coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions offer flexibility by letting people meet from wherever they are. Video calls work well for interactive skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter updates between longer sessions.
