About Karen
Karen Evanson, LPC, has more than 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, ADHD, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with individuals who are looking for clear tools and steady support during hard times. Her style aims to be calm and practical so conversations stay focused and useful.
In sessions she listens closely and centers the person's goals. She combines client-centered work with structured methods to help change thought patterns and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on trauma-focused therapy and hypnotherapy where appropriate to address lingering reactions from past events. Her practice emphasizes building everyday coping skills. That can mean short skills practice, breathing and grounding exercises, or breaking problems into smaller steps.
She helps people experiment with new habits between sessions and notices what helps them feel more in control. Karen frames therapy as a collaboration. She pays attention to values, relationships, and practical limits like time and energy.
Sessions are meant to fit into a busy life while still tackling the issues that cause distress. Based in Oklahoma, she uses evidence-based approaches alongside a compassionate, faith-informed outlook when clients want that considered. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes, and to leave people with tools they can use after therapy ends.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person sets the pace and goals; it helps when someone needs understanding and a steady space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to reactions from past hurt and works to reduce intense symptoms while building safer ways of coping.Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Goals, session pace, and which techniques to try are revisited as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions remove the need for video and can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, school schedules, or other routines while still accessing licensed professionals and structured approaches.
