About Evelyn
Evelyn Herman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and a range of intimacy and family-related challenges. Evelyn also supports those dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and life changes.
She emphasizes listening carefully to what people bring and offering practical tools and strategies. Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with client-centered practices to help people name and shift painful emotions and interaction patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns.
Evelyn draws on mindfulness exercises, imagery, breath work, and elements of narrative work to help people notice their inner life and make different choices. She describes therapy as collaborative; the client’s feedback helps steer the methods used. She has long experience supporting people who have experienced abuse and those working through intimacy and trust issues.
Her background includes co-directing a counseling team in Bellevue, Washington, early in her career and many years in private practice as the owner of StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. That history informs a steady, practical style that aims to increase self-awareness and clearer decision-making.

How Evelyn’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name the emotions that shape their relationships and patterns. In practice this means identifying moments when strong feelings change how someone reacts and then trying new ways of responding to those feelings.Client-Centered Therapy centers on careful listening and the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and encourages exploration of feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses straightforward skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Evelyn will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Clients’ feedback guides adjustments so the work stays practical and relevant.
