About Karen
Karen Evanson is an LPC with 21 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and build steadier days. Karen writes plainly and listens closely to what each person brings into a session.
She offers a calm, faith-informed approach where clients can safely talk through painful events. Sessions emphasize coping skills for panic, phobias, and anger so people can regain a sense of control.
Background and approach
Work often includes tools for handling ADHD-related frustration and improving self-esteem. Karen draws on a mix of methods tailored to each person's needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a respectful space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. For people who have experienced trauma, Trauma-Focused Therapy and related techniques are applied carefully and gradually. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Hypnotherapy is available as another option for people interested in mind-body approaches. Sessions are offered from Oklahoma and conducted in English. The aim is steady progress through clear goals and simple, everyday strategies.
Karen helps people move from crisis into routines that feel more manageable and hopeful.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
The practice combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create sessions that are both supportive and goal-focused. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the client's concerns and priorities, offering empathy and reflection to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying thought patterns that fuel anxiety and trying practical behavior experiments to test new ways of coping.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation becomes central to therapy. DBT introduces skills for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to pick methods that match the person’s goals, preferences, and life situation, and they adjust the plan over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer short, focused exchanges and ongoing support between longer appointments. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy days while keeping work practical and consistent.
