    About Evan

    Evan Matheney is an Ohio-based counselor who centers Motivational Interviewing alongside other practical approaches. He brings seven years of clinical experience and holds an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, LPCC. He aims to make conversations clear and focused so people can decide what changes matter most to them.

    He began his work on a home-based therapy team, guiding parents toward clearer routines and stronger parent-child interaction. That early hands-on practice led to work in early childhood mental health, where he used Child-Parent Psychotherapy concepts to address trauma and repair caregiver-child relationships.

    Over time his practice expanded to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential ideas about meaning, and client-centered listening. He has also used Motivational Interviewing to help people weigh options and build motivation for change. He pairs techniques with straightforward conversation and practical skills practice.

    Evan has led programs and supervised other clinicians in public health and nonprofit settings. He now runs his own counseling and consulting practice, offering therapy and professional training. His background includes crisis work, program management for maternal mental health, and clinical supervision.

    People who come for help can expect direct, calm sessions that focus on goals they name. He emphasizes relationship repair, parenting strategies, and ways to manage stress and mood. Evan aims to help each person leave sessions with something they can try between meetings.

  2. How these approaches work in online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone explore their own reasons for change. In short talks, the therapist asks open questions and reflects what the person says to build clarity and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at connection patterns between caregivers and children or between partners, and aims to strengthen trust and emotional responsiveness through guided conversation and practical strategies.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and respect for each person's pace. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people name their goals so sessions stay useful and relevant. Together, the client and therapist decide which combination of approaches fits best for the issues at hand.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try strategies collaboratively based on a client's goals and preferences. This makes it easier to adjust direction if something does not feel helpful.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives, such as quick check-ins during a lunch break or regular weekly meetings without travel. It also allows focusing on practical skills and homework between sessions to support change in everyday routines.
