Karen Evanson, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Karen

Karen Evanson is a licensed professional counselor who helps parents and families facing stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She has 21 years of experience and works with people dealing with trauma, anger, ADHD, low self-esteem, and depression. Karen creates a calm space where parents can talk through hard moments and find practical ways to cope.

Her style is straightforward and caring. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills that can be used at home and in daily routines. Karen draws on proven techniques to reduce panic, manage intense emotions, and address family problems. Her training includes cognitive behavioral methods and approaches that teach new thinking and behavior patterns.

She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on each person’s needs. For clients who need trauma work, she applies trauma-focused methods alongside other tools. Karen holds an LPC credential and practices in Oklahoma.

She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients. Therapy is delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. Parents who want a practical, experienced guide often find her pacing and focus helpful.

She supports steps toward forgiveness, reduced guilt and shame, and improved family communication. Small changes at home are a frequent goal in her work.

Approaches that translate to online family support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps parents feel heard and clarifies what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change unhelpful patterns.

Karen treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust as needed. Together they find which combination of techniques feels most useful for the family’s situation.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit family schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy going between errands, school runs, or work. The range of formats also allows skills practice and follow-up in the moments when parents most need support.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
