Eve GunderKline , LCSW

Eve GunderKline is an Illinois-based licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and trauma recovery. Eve centers women's issues among her areas of work and often helps young adults facing major transitions.

She uses a compassionate, down-to-earth style. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Eve listens for patterns in attachment, control, and family history that shape current struggles.

Practical skills and emotional exploration happen together. She helps people manage stress, improve relationships, and cope with grief or burnout. For those recovering from sexual assault or self-harm, she brings trauma-focused tools alongside steady support.

Eve also addresses concerns such as codependency, jealousy, sexuality and non-monogamous relationship questions. She guides clients toward clearer boundaries, healthier communication, and steadier self-esteem.

Her approach blends client-centered attention with psychodynamic thinking and trauma-focused methods when needed. This mix lets her tailor sessions to the issues at hand while keeping the person's goals central. Eve helps people find small, doable changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered work puts the person's experience first and focuses on creating a respectful, listening relationship. In practice this means sessions center the client's goals, with the therapist reflecting feelings and helping people make decisions that fit their lives.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a structured way to process traumatic memories. It can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and early relationships that affect current behavior. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and opens up new options for relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Eve will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. That collaborative planning lets the therapist adjust methods as work progresses.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, a parenting schedule, or other commitments.
