    About Samantha

    Samantha Evans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She supports clients dealing with grief, anger, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, workplace issues, and LGBT concerns. Her tone is relaxed and strengths-focused, and she aims to help people build on what already works for them.

    She has three years of clinical experience and a background that includes work in group homes, adult foster care, school-based services, and juvenile detention settings. Samantha completed a Bachelor of Science at Bemidji State University and a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from St. Cloud State University. Her early work involved managing care settings and providing direct support to people with behavioral and developmental disabilities.

    More recently she provided individual psychotherapy to adolescents and young adults in schools, offices, and online settings. She also worked as a crisis responder and provided assessments and stabilization services. Samantha has experience offering group therapy for teenagers and spent time as an adult mental health case manager.

    Her approach blends Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Narrative techniques. Sessions focus on recognizing practical strengths, setting small goals, and practicing new skills between meetings. She keeps a laid-back, collaborative style and works with each person to find what fits.

    People interested in starting can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that emphasize skills they can use in day-to-day life.

  2. How Samantha Uses Motivational Interviewing and Related Approaches Online

    Samantha draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people sort out mixed feelings and find motivation to make changes. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to help clients clarify goals and take practical steps forward.

    She also uses Client-Centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and pace, offering acceptance and collaboration while people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She adapts strategies as needed so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

    Regarding online therapy logistics, the biography shows past experience with online-based work but does not list current session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often tailor session length and rhythm to fit work schedules, childcare, or other daily demands.
