Dr. Evans' clinical work is grounded in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). He draws on this framework to help clients understand the patterns keeping them stuck and build the skills to change them. IBCT emphasizes acceptance and behavior change, helping couples move from cycles of conflict and distance toward deeper understanding and connection.
