About Kate

Kate Evans is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 21 years of experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on concerns like self-esteem, career questions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and LGBT-related matters. Sessions also address compassion fatigue, fertility concerns, divorce and separation, and young adult issues.

Evans centers conversations on practical steps and personal strengths. She helps people name goals, notice patterns, and try small changes that can shift daily life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness approaches, and Solution-Focused techniques to structure sessions and set short-term objectives.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and offers tools clients can use between sessions. Many meetings include skill practice, problem-solving, and planning concrete next steps for work or home life.

Evans pays attention to how stress and role demands affect mood and motivation. She supports people dealing with perfectionism, fear of judgment, guilt, and low self-worth. The focus is on manageable changes that reduce overwhelm and increase confidence.

People who prefer a practical, skill-based approach tend to find her work useful. She encourages clients to build on what already works and to experiment with new ways of coping. To begin, follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Kate Evans uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and then test and change them through small experiments and practical assignments. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habit patterns that interfere with daily life. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Mindfulness can help with stress, overwhelm, and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She and the client review goals, preferences, and what has and hasn’t worked before. From that discussion they pick or blend methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace in a collaborative way.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since none are listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow using worksheets, guided breathing, and skill practice during the session to support progress between meetings.
