About Evelyn

Evelyn Herman is a Washington-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 32 years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Evelyn listens carefully and offers practical tools to help people feel more steady and in control of their lives.

Her work emphasizes understanding personal stories and how they shape daily behavior. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult life events and rewrite parts of their story that no longer serve them.

Background and approach

Evelyn also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build more useful habits. She describes therapy as a team effort where client feedback guides each step. Sessions can include mindfulness practices, breathing work, and imagery when that fits a person’s style.

Evelyn pays attention to emotions, thought patterns, physical well-being, and spiritual concerns when people want that broader perspective. Over her career she has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and life transitions. She has particular experience helping people process abandonment, blended family issues, codependency, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Evelyn aims to help people build clarity, stronger self-esteem, and practical coping skills. Her approach is direct, compassionate, and adaptable to each person’s needs. If someone wants hands-on tools and space to tell their story, she focuses on steps that lead to real change.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Her online practice draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and open up new possibilities. Narrative work is useful for issues like identity, family of origin concerns, abandonment, and life purpose because it focuses on meaning and perspective.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where a person’s goals guide the work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and change thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT is especially helpful for learning concrete skills to manage worry, sleep problems, or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will check in about goals and preferences and adjust techniques together as therapy unfolds. Client input shapes which methods get used and how sessions are paced.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.
