David Evans, LMHC

David Evans is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting or career challenges. He also supports those coping with trauma, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and related life changes, including issues such as abandonment and attachment struggles.

His style is warm and interactive. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions focus on planning manageable steps and practical changes that aim to restore balance across daily life.

David draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy principles to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding. He also integrates mindfulness practices and narrative techniques when they help a person make progress. He adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

In sessions people can expect a partnership: identifying specific concerns, trying small experiments, and tracking what helps. He emphasizes clear goals and concrete actions alongside reflection about values and meaning. This approach supports people working through relationship problems, intimacy-related worries, or challenges tied to addiction or trauma.

David trained and practiced across community mental health settings and independent practice in Washington over two decades. He frames therapy as a step-by-step process and offers guidance to help people act on their goals and move toward a steadier day-to-day life.

Approaches David Uses and What They Look Like Online

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks big problems into small, practical steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

He also draws on the Gottman Method’s structured approach for relationship concerns, focusing on communication skills, identifying conflict patterns, and building practical habits that improve connection. Mindfulness Therapy is used to bring attention to the present moment, reduce reactivity, and support clearer choices in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows early results. That collaborative process may blend methods and adjust over time as needs change.
