About Evelyn

Evelyn Pappoe is a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She works in English and Spanish and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice in New Jersey. She grew up in the Bronx in an immigrant, blended family.

Early life experiences including teen parenthood and her parents' divorce shaped her interest in mental health.

Background and approach

That background informs how she listens and the examples she draws on in sessions. In sessions she uses practical conversation to identify patterns that cause pain. She helps people notice stories they tell about themselves and then try new ways of thinking and relating.

She often mixes approaches to match what someone needs in the moment. Her toolkit includes Narrative Therapy, which invites people to reframe the stories they live by, and Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on being heard and understood. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address thoughts and relationship patterns.

People come for help with abandonment, caregiving stress, blended family issues, fertility and pregnancy loss, aging concerns, cancer-related stress, and communication or commitment difficulties. She frames therapy as a place to work through the past, learn new coping skills, and prepare for life’s next chapter.

Online session options

How Evelyn’s approaches work online

Therapy here often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider different, more helpful narratives. That approach can be useful for grief, identity questions, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; sessions focus on listening and reflecting so people feel understood before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or get in the way of daily life. CBT techniques online can include setting small goals, tracking thoughts, and practicing new skills between sessions. Evelyn tailors these methods together with each person, so the mix fits their goals and pace in a collaborative way.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Chat or messaging can work well for short check-ins, quick tools, or people who prefer typing. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into routines like work, caregiving, or travel.
