Ann Bevan, LCSW

Ann Bevan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Louisiana. She brings six years of direct clinical experience and a long history in social services to her online work. Ann listens without judgment and focuses on what matters to each person who reaches out.

She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Ann also supports clients facing issues around self-esteem, intimacy, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with people affected by HIV and hospice and end-of-life concerns.

Ann uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients make change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered conversations shape many sessions. She also draws on Jungian and mindfulness approaches when they fit a person’s needs.

In a typical session she encourages clear goals and small, doable steps. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try alternative behaviors, and practice new ways of relating. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s comfort level.

Ann offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what works for them. She works in English and serves people located in Louisiana. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a person with therapy.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Ann often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns, test different behaviors, and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, or addictions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and to practice new ways of relating to others. These methods are explained plainly and applied to real day-to-day problems so clients can try changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or blend approaches and adjust them as progress is made so therapy stays aligned with the person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals while fitting therapy into a busy life.
