About Ann
Ann Bevan is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana. She earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Tulane and brings six years of experience as an LCSW. Ann offers a calm, respectful presence and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations center on what feels most pressing. Ann listens, asks clear questions, and helps people identify next steps they can try between visits.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several therapy styles, including attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses mindfulness and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s goals. The aim is to match tools to the problem rather than apply a single method.
Ann has additional experience addressing addictions, process addictions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges, intimacy issues, postpartum mood changes, and the effects of prejudice or health concerns such as HIV and hospice-related worries. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
People who choose to start complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Ann seeks to make therapy accessible, practical, and focused on real-life change.
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on connection and safety in relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to help people notice how past bonds affect current reactions and to practice new ways of relating.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the individual, helping them name priorities and try small changes that feel right.
Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions a therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and offers practical exercises to shift behaviors and mood between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ann will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, daily tracking, or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between appointments.
