About Eve

Eve GunderKline is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and recovery from trauma. Eve emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach that keeps the client's goals in the lead.

She centers sessions on what matters most to each person. That might mean looking at attachment patterns, addressing jealousy or control issues, or working through family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with sexual assault and abuse, self-harm recovery, and grief.

Eve uses several therapeutic styles to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to build a trusting space, trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past events shape current feelings, and EMDR when trauma memories are a core concern. Sessions move at a pace the client is comfortable with and focus on practical steps for daily life.

She pays close attention to relationships and intimacy, including non-monogamous arrangements and polyamory when those topics arise. Eve also addresses career strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues common to young adults and women.

People who choose her can expect a warm, direct style that invites honest conversation. The work aims to help clients feel more in control of emotions and choices and to build coping strategies that fit their lives.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals and choices. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks about priorities, and helps clients set manageable steps to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used when traumatic memories are causing ongoing distress. It aims to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories through guided processing and can help with symptoms that come from past trauma. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns influence present feelings and behavior, helping people notice repeated patterns and make different choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether client-centered care, EMDR, psychodynamic ideas, or a mix best fits current goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for choosing times that work around work, caregiving, or school commitments while preserving the same therapeutic focus used in person.
