About Evelyn
Evelyn Herman is a Washington LMHC with 32 years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and related concerns such as parenting, sleep problems, and intimacy issues. She also addresses issues connected to LGBT concerns, career changes, and navigating life transitions.
Herman uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally focused ideas. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are part of her work too. Sessions include concrete strategies such as thought restructuring, mindful awareness exercises, and imagery or visualization when useful.
Her background includes five years as co-director of a counseling team in Bellevue and many years running a private practice called StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. Over three decades she has worked with people in many life stages and circumstances, including survivors of sexual and domestic violence and those recovering from childhood abuse.
In sessions she listens for repeated patterns that cause pain, and she helps people try different ways of responding. She will suggest tools for sleep, grounding, and stress management, and she highlights behaviors that support clearer thinking and better mood. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and focused on real problems.
Herman combines talk-based methods with mindfulness, breath work, and guided imagery when appropriate. She encourages short experiments between sessions so people can test new approaches in everyday life. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How cognitive, client-centered, and emotionally focused work translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s concerns are named and understood; it helps when people need a steady, collaborative place to sort out feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses short practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting patterns in close relationships, useful for intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. Input and feedback from the client guide what is emphasized in sessions and what homework or between-session experiments are suggested.
Practical benefits of doing therapy online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time so work or family breaks can be used for appointments. Some people choose shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when that better matches their day or bandwidth. Because formats are not listed in the biography, confirm which session types are offered before booking so they fit your routine.
