About Evelyn

Evelyn Herman brings 32 years of clinical experience to her work and aims to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She practices from Washington and uses a holistic lens that addresses thoughts, emotions, physical wellbeing, and spiritual needs while offering practical strategies to relieve symptoms and build resilience. Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and emotionally-focused methods to help clients gain clearer perspective and stronger coping skills.

Evelyn draws on a broad background that includes co-directing a counseling team in Bellevue and many years in independent practice running StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. She works with issues across the lifespan and brings particular experience supporting people through life changes, parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, and concerns around identity and intimacy.

As a Washington licensed mental health counselor (WA LMHC LH00006129), Evelyn emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building, inviting clients to explore values, rewrite unhelpful narratives, and practice new patterns that foster greater self-awareness and empowerment.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and support so the client feels understood and respected while exploring concerns; it helps people build self-awareness, strengthen decision-making, and feel more empowered in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behavioral habits; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and relational patterns, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Evelyn works collaboratively with each person to tailor strategies to their goals and preferences, inviting feedback and adjustments so the work remains practical and relevant. This helps ensure that interventions reflect both the client’s needs and how they prefer to engage in therapy.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity through transitions, and access care from Washington without the need to travel.
