About David

David Evans is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He draws on a broad clinical background gained in independent practice and public health settings across Washington, and he frames therapy around practical planning and supportive collaboration to help clients regain balance in daily life. His style is described as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

David uses evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy to clarify patterns, set achievable goals, and develop skills that translate into meaningful change. He adapts session content and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances and preferences.

David brings additional experience addressing trauma and abuse, parenting and family challenges, intimacy and sexual diversity concerns, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of life transitions. He maintains morning and some afternoon or evening availability to accommodate different schedules and supports clients through a subscription-based session model.

Approaches that guide online sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to internal experience, which can help with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with trauma. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, often used with addictions and behavior change efforts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will tailor methods accordingly rather than relying on a single technique. This lets sessions evolve as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These formats support regular continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to deliver structured, skill-based work and supportive coaching across different communication modes.
