About Evita

Evita Sanchez is a bilingual Latina licensed marriage and family therapist who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical help for anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and trauma. Evita emphasizes people’s strengths and works with them to build on what already helps. She encourages small steps and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

In sessions she listens for the stories that shape a person’s life and then looks for small, workable changes. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful or stuck stories. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to find realistic, short-term steps clients can try between meetings.

Evita supports people struggling with body image, attachment concerns, communication problems, and issues around gender and identity. She also works with challenges such as career shifts, midlife questions, and coping with major life changes. Her approach centers on practical tools rather than jargon, so clients can use what they learn right away.

As a Minnesota-based LMFT she blends warm listening with focused goal-setting. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace so progress is tangible. Evita invites clients to notice strengths, try new behaviors, and adjust the plan when needed.

She encourages prospective clients to consider what they'd like to change and to bring that into the first meeting. The aim is steady, achievable progress guided by clear goals and regular check-ins.

How Narrative and Solution-Focused Work Online

Evita uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, then consider new, more helpful ways to describe those stories. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, concrete steps that move someone toward their goals and build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify priorities, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are emphasized during sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making scheduling more flexible around work and family routines. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your circumstances so sessions fit into everyday life.
