About Karen
Karen Evanson is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and related concerns. Karen aims to create a calm and caring space where people can begin to feel steadier and think more clearly.
Her style is warm and practical. She listens closely and helps people notice what is making life harder. Sessions focus on small, doable steps such as learning coping skills, practicing breathing and grounding, and trying new ways to respond to fear and anger.
Karen uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies for emotion regulation.
Trauma-focused tools and hypnotherapy may be used when they match a person’s needs and readiness. The emphasis is on pacing the work so people feel safe enough to address painful memories or intense panic symptoms.
She practices in Oklahoma and offers support for common struggles like parenting stress, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and family problems. Karen helps people explore forgiveness, manage guilt and shame, and build more reliable coping routines.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and trauma care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person set the pace and topics for work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and panic going and then testing practical changes to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, current challenges, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
