About Eve
Eve GunderKline is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting adults through major life challenges. She focuses on issues like depression, anxiety, relationship stress, trauma recovery and parenting. Eve takes a straightforward, compassionate approach that centers the person in front of her.
She aims to help people regain a sense of agency and cope with day-to-day pressures. Clients meet a clinician who listens first and asks practical questions next.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through patterns that repeat in relationships and testing small changes that feel doable. Eve pays close attention to attachment history, family of origin dynamics, and how past hurts show up now. Trauma work is presented carefully and paced to each individual.
When appropriate, she uses trauma-focused methods and EMDR to address painful memories and reduce their emotional hold. The focus is on safety, building coping skills, and restoring routines that support daily functioning. She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of recurring themes and beliefs.
This means balancing immediate problem-solving with attention to underlying patterns that influence behavior. Parents are supported in managing stress, setting boundaries, and handling the emotional labor of caregiving. Eve aims for an affirming space that honors identity and sexual diversity, including LGBT concerns and issues around non-monogamous relationships.
Her work includes grief, career concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She meets clients where they are and helps them plan realistic steps forward.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and the client's own goals. Online sessions using this approach mean time is spent reflecting what matters to the client and setting practical, achievable steps to try between meetings.EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. In remote sessions it involves guided processing and repeated bilateral stimulation adapted for video or phone formats to help people reclaim daily functioning after trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match the issue at hand, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone calls can fit into a busy day, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other commitments while keeping a steady course of care.
