About Eve
Eve GunderKline is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people untangle complicated emotional and relational issues. She focuses on trauma recovery, mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, and relationship dynamics including intimacy, jealousy, and non-monogamous arrangements.
Background and approach
Her practice also attends to women's issues, young adult transitions, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue, as well as family of origin patterns and attachment struggles. Her work blends evidence-informed methods to address both immediate coping needs and deeper, long-standing patterns.
Clients can expect a compassionate, collaborative stance that honors their expertise about their own lives while offering tools for managing stress, grief, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Eve also incorporates trauma-focused techniques to support recovery from sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm histories.
She aims to provide a respectful, affirming environment where practical strategies and reflective exploration meet to promote growth and resilience.
Online Approaches for Trauma and Relational Work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and provides an empathic, nonjudgmental space for exploring feelings and goals; this approach is useful for improving self-esteem, working through life transitions, and clarifying relationship needs. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a trauma-focused technique that helps process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact, making it useful for post-traumatic stress and recovery from sexual assault or other abuse.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine whether a client-centered stance, EMDR, or psychodynamic and trauma-focused elements best match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjustments are made over time based on progress and preference.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent sessions during life transitions, balance treatment with work or caregiving responsibilities, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful for processing emotions and practicing new skills.
