Ann BevanLCSW

Ann Bevan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. She brings six years of clinical experience and a calm, attentive presence to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, postpartum depression, and other pregnancy and childbirth related challenges. Ann aims to make space for honest talk and practical next steps when life feels overwhelming.

Ann uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build small, manageable behavior changes. Attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices are woven in to support relationships and present-moment coping.

She has worked with people facing medical challenges, loss, and relationship strain, and she includes attention to issues such as addiction, compassion fatigue, prejudice and discrimination, and end-of-life concerns. Ann describes her role as one of steady listening and practical support rather than quick fixes.

Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, learning small skills that help, and testing new ways of responding to stress. Conversations may address self-esteem, parenting struggles, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes that come with pregnancy and early parenthood.

Ann conducts sessions in English and practices within Louisiana. International clients are not accepted. If someone decides to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client’s timing.

How Ann’s Approaches Translate to Online Support

Ann integrates client-centered therapy by prioritizing what matters to the client and reflecting concerns back in simple, clear language; this helps people gain clarity about their feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive mood over time. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and how early bonds affect responses to stress, useful for intimacy or parenting concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ann collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts pace and techniques based on how someone responds, so therapy evolves rather than staying fixed to one method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can work around medical visits or childcare. Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about what will best fit your schedule and day-to-day life.
