About Karen
Karen Evanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, phobias, guilt and shame, parenting strain, family problems, and the work of forgiveness.
Karen uses a straightforward, person-centered style. Sessions focus on what matters to the client. She listens, reflects, and helps people find practical steps they can try between meetings. The aim is to build coping skills and quiet the thoughts and reactions that get in the way of daily life.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, hypnotherapy, and trauma-focused methods. That mix lets her tailor work to each person’s needs, whether the priority is reducing panic, managing anger, or processing a painful event.
In session she guides clients to name unhelpful patterns and test small changes. Homework is simple and practical, like short behavior experiments or skills practice. Over time the focus is on strengthening resilience and making choices that feel more manageable.

How different approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's experience in the moment. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify what matters most. This approach can ease anxiety and make it easier to talk about painful memories.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises or experiments to try between sessions and can help with panic, phobias, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills practice can reduce reactivity and build steadier coping over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that respects the client's preferences and pace.
