About Karen
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 21 years of experience. Karen Evanson helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and depression.
Karen uses practical, talk-based work. She listens to what is most urgent and focuses on clear steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Sessions mix client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and she may use trauma-focused methods or hypnotherapy when appropriate.
She works with people who are coping with panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and family problems. Karen aims to help clients build coping skills, manage overwhelming emotions, and repair relationships where possible. Her style emphasizes straightforward skill-building and problem-solving in session.
Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that balances discussion and active techniques. Karen draws on 21 years as an LPC in Oklahoma to select methods that fit each person’s needs. She notes faith can be part of conversations when clients bring it up.
Background and approach: Over two decades of practice have shaped a focus on outcomes that matter in daily life. Karen blends client-centered listening with structured exercises from CBT and DBT to reduce symptoms and teach new behaviors. For trauma-related work she integrates trauma-focused therapy and may introduce hypnotherapy as one option. She asks about goals up front and checks progress regularly to keep work practical and focused.

How her approaches guide online work
Karen uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities. That approach centers on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters most and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers step-by-step exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can help with anger, emotional overwhelm, and situations that trigger panic or self-criticism. These approaches are chosen to match the problem at hand and the client's preferences, not applied the same way for everyone.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Karen will discuss options and collaborate on what to try first based on goals, symptoms, and how a person prefers to work. She checks progress and adjusts methods if something isn't helping.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists commonly use digital sessions to practice skills in real life and review homework between meetings.
