About Ann

Ann Bevan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who draws on six years of clinical experience to support people confronting stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She trained at Tulane University where she earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work and has worked in a range of roles assisting clients with medical challenges, bereavement, relationship struggles, and coping with change. Her style is grounded in attentive listening and a compassionate, patient stance that invites clients to explore difficult emotions and patterns.

Ann integrates Internal Family Systems - often called parts work - alongside approaches such as Attachment-Based and Client-Centered therapies and Cognitive Behavioral techniques, tailoring interventions to the concerns presented. She also brings experience addressing addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, paranoia, phobias, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and process addictions.

Ann aims to help individuals gain clearer self-understanding and practical ways to manage distress. She welcomes those ready to take a step toward change and offers collaborative support to navigate the path forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Ann uses Internal Family Systems to help clients explore inner parts that carry emotions and beliefs; this parts-focused work can clarify sources of anxiety, low mood, and self-critical patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and responding, which can be useful for addressing intimacy, grief, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that supports self-exploration and personal growth, providing space for clients to set the pace and priorities of sessions.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns to determine which combination of approaches feels most helpful, and adjustments are made as understanding deepens over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can access care from different locations and schedules. These formats make it possible to continue steady work on emotions, relationships, and coping skills while fitting therapy into everyday life, with a licensed professional guiding the process.
