About Kate
Kate Evans is an IL LCPC with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as self esteem, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She also lists work around career, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, depression, and fertility and divorce-related stress.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions emphasize concrete skills for managing emotions, stress, and difficult thinking patterns.
Kate often works with people who struggle with perfectionism, fear of failure, and low self-worth. She helps clients identify day-to-day habits that keep those patterns going. Together they set small, achievable steps that build confidence and clearer priorities.
She pays attention to emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects that affect wellbeing. That means looking beyond symptoms to routines, supports, and personal values. The work combines skill practice, problem solving, and short-term goal setting to create more manageable daily life.
Conversations center on the client's perspective and strengths. Kate treats the person as the primary expert on their life while offering structured tools and feedback. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How CBT and related approaches are used online
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in clear, skill-based ways. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage strong feelings and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful, then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match skills and exercises to the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, permit shorter check-in sessions when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows practicing skills in everyday settings and then discussing how they went in the next meeting. Prospective clients should check the platform's session choices and scheduling details before their first appointment.
