David Evans, LMHC

David Evans is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life transitions. He also helps people facing trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy to shape practical steps in sessions. Conversations focus on concrete patterns - what triggers strong reactions, how thoughts influence mood, and what small changes reduce flare-ups. Sessions are collaborative and action-oriented, with an eye toward things people can try between meetings.

Over two decades he has worked in private practice and in community settings in King County, and he has provided online therapy work on a national platform for the past few years. That mix of community and private practice experience informs how he balances short-term problem solving with longer-term skill building.

In the room he listens for recurring themes such as attachment wounds, control struggles, communication breakdowns, and burnout. From there he combines brief behavioral strategies, narrative work to reframe unhelpful stories, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. He also integrates motivational interviewing when someone is deciding whether to change addictive behaviors.

People who want practical techniques to manage anger and to improve relationships often find the sessions straightforward. He asks about goals, tracks small wins, and adjusts plans based on what actually helps in daily life.
