Karen Evanson

Karen Evanson, LPC, has more than 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and the fallout from traumatic events. She creates a calm, faith-informed space where people can talk about what feels hardest and take small steps toward feeling better. Karen focuses on practical coping skills and steady support rather than quick fixes.

Her work often addresses ADHD, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, panic attacks, and phobias. She also helps people navigate guilt, shame, forgiveness, and family problems. Sessions typically center on identifying patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building everyday routines that reduce overwhelm.

Karen draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, hypnotherapy, and trauma-focused work. She blends those methods to fit each person’s needs, using straightforward exercises, guided conversations, and reflective work. The focus is on tools that can be used between sessions.

People who come to Karen often want clear strategies and a steady presence while they work through painful memories or current stressors. She aims to help clients set realistic goals, practice new skills, and notice progress over time. Her style is patient, direct, and respectful of each person’s beliefs and life context.

Karen is licensed as an LPC in Texas and Oklahoma and sees clients from her Oklahoma practice. Sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person speaking and follows their lead. It helps people feel heard, clarify their goals, and build the confidence to try new behaviors. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, ask about your goals and preferences, and suggest methods that match your needs. Together you can try different tools and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work on trauma, anger, and anxiety from wherever they are located within the therapist's practice area. Discuss scheduling and session length during your initial matching and booking steps to find a setup that fits your life.
