About Karen
Karen Evanson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 21 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She focuses on practical support for anger, anxiety, stress, and trauma so clients can feel more in control day to day. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going.
Sessions aim to build simple skills for managing panic, intrusive thoughts, and overwhelming feelings. She also helps with attention challenges related to ADHD and the self-esteem issues that often follow.
Background and approach
Her work addresses the fallout from painful experiences, including post-traumatic stress, phobias, and intense shame or guilt. She helps people sort family problems and the strain that parenting can bring, with an emphasis on realistic steps rather than abstract theory. Karen blends talking therapies with evidence-based techniques to create a plan that fits each person.
She adapts Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach coping skills and emotional regulation. Trauma-focused methods and hypnotherapy are available when they fit a client’s goals. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on achievable change.
Sessions are aimed at reducing symptoms while building long-term strategies for forgiveness, resilience, and clearer thinking. She practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel understood and can find their own path forward. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through anger, stress, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into small steps you can change. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and ADHD-related patterns by teaching practical tools to test thoughts and build new routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers clear skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. These skills can be helpful when anger or intense emotions lead to impulsive actions.
Karen approaches choice of method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approaches and exercises to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these approaches easy to access from different places. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, while live chat or text messaging can provide shorter check-ins and written reminders of strategies. These formats offer flexibility for fitting therapy into a busy life.
