About Ann

Ann Bevan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. She earned her Master of Social Work at Tulane and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice. Ann welcomes straightforward conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns.

She emphasizes listening first and then working with clients to find practical next steps. Her style is calm and patient. She focuses on helping people talk through what feels hardest and identify manageable changes.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problems rather than labels. Ann aims to make space for emotions while finding ways forward that fit each person’s life. Ann draws from several therapy approaches to match the issue at hand.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions, client-centered care to keep the work focused on the person, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness tools to reduce stress and promote present-moment awareness.

Ann has experience supporting people facing illness, grief, and life transitions, and she lists additional focus areas that include postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and process addictions. She works with concerns around intimacy, family dynamics, and prejudice or discrimination in people’s lives. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

If someone decides to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their close relationships and try different responses in real time. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own goals. This approach creates a space to speak openly and develop a clearer sense of what you want from parenting, relationships, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and small practice tasks that fit easily into day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful over time.

Online therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who cannot travel easily. These formats allow sessions to happen from home, support quick check-ins between appointments, and make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, school, or parenting demands.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
