About Eve
Eve GunderKline is a licensed clinician social worker with ten years of experience helping people through hard moments. She practices as an LCSW in Illinois and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain steadiness. Her work is down-to-earth and geared toward people who want clear support and real change.
She helps with depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes. Relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and sexual assault recovery are also central to her work.
Background and approach
She supports people processing grief, compassion fatigue, and career-related strain. Eve pays attention to how early attachment and family of origin patterns shape current challenges. She uses that understanding to help people spot repeating patterns and make different choices.
Codependency, control issues, jealousy, and problems tied to non-monogamy are part of her focus. Trauma-focused work is a significant part of her practice. She combines trauma-focused therapy and EMDR when appropriate to ease distress linked to past harm.
That work is paced to each person’s needs and tolerance. Her style is warm, accepting, and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them build coping tools that fit daily routines.
Sessions aim to leave people with clearer steps they can try between meetings.
How trauma-informed and client-centered work translates online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set steps that feel doable. It suits issues like low self-esteem, life changes, and relationship decisions.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories. Sessions use targeted processing and are paced to what the person can handle; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and recovery after sexual assault or other harms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest a path to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on how things are going.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when a camera feels like too much, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy days and varied schedules.
