David Evans, LMHC

David Evans is a licensed mental health counselor with twenty years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, or life transitions. He also supports those facing addiction, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and concerns related to aging and geriatric issues.

David keeps sessions warm and interactive. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on respect and compassion. He listens closely, then works with each person to map out practical steps toward feeling more balanced and in control.

His approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Reality Therapy and other practical methods. That means conversations are focused on what people think, what they do, and how to change unhelpful patterns. He adapts the plan to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

David draws on two decades of work in private practice and community settings across Washington. He has supported people after trauma and abuse, and those facing career or relationship crossroads. He aims to keep goals clear and progress measurable so people can see change over time.

He offers morning and some afternoon or evening appointments to fit different schedules. To begin, people complete a short intake and then schedule a time that works for them. David emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit everyday life.

How therapy methods translate to online work

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice clearer, more effective ways of thinking and acting; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who are weighing change, such as when addressing addictions or making a life transition.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there they collaborate on a plan that fits the person's needs and pace rather than imposing a single method.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use that time for coping skills practice. Talk with the therapist about scheduling options and what will best match your routine and goals.
