About Karen
Karen Evanson is a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, ADHD, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and depression. She draws on a faith-informed, compassionate stance to create a therapeutic atmosphere that supports emotional growth and practical change.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses related concerns such as family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. Her style blends evidence-based techniques and empathic listening to tailor care to each person's needs.
Karen uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, trauma-focused interventions, and hypnotherapy to help clients build coping skills, process difficult memories, and reduce distressing symptoms. She emphasizes collaboration, teaching tools for emotional regulation and healthier thinking patterns while honoring an individual’s values and life story.
Clients can expect focused, practical strategies alongside attentive support aimed at steady progress. Karen aims to guide people toward increased resilience and clearer decision-making as they work through challenging experiences and seek more balanced daily functioning.
Approaches and online therapy options that fit your needs
Karen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, offering practical exercises and homework to build new habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and resolving the impacts of traumatic experiences through structured, targeted techniques that aim to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also draws from client-centered principles, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal values. Finding the most effective approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals, preferences, and response to different methods to tailor care over time rather than assuming a single path at the outset.
Online sessions are delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from home, and use written or live formats that match different communication styles and needs. Licensed professionals can work with clients remotely while focusing on practical tools and steady progress.
