Evelyn Pappoe, LMFT

Evelyn Pappoe is a bilingual English and Spanish Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She draws on her upbringing in the Bronx, the experience of growing up in an immigrant and blended family with Honduran parents, and personal life transitions including becoming a teen mother and witnessing her parents' divorce to inform her work and deepen her empathy for clients facing systemic challenges and distress.

Her professional focus includes individual, couples, and family therapy for people from varied backgrounds. Many who seek her support are coping with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship stressors, grief and pregnancy loss, or the challenges that come with major life adjustments. She emphasizes helping clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns, identify roadblocks that keep them stuck, and learn practical skills to manage emotions and move toward more fulfilling lives.

Evelyn is committed to reducing the stigma around mental health and to creating a space where people can feel seen and understood rather than alone. As an LMFT - a license that recognizes training in working with individuals, couples, and families - she blends experience and compassion to support clients through the transitions and demands that prompt change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore feelings and personal values - it is useful for people seeking empathy and support while navigating life transitions or identity questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and coping strategies - it is often effective for anxiety, low mood, and managing everyday stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, which can help couples and families improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Evelyn will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods so therapy aligns with what matters most to the client. The plan evolves as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible options for care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same focused therapeutic work as in-person sessions while accommodating each client's practical needs.
