Dr. Susan Eaton, LPC

Dr. Susan Eaton helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. She listens with respect and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she works side-by-side with each person to set clear, manageable goals.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 28 years of experience. Over her career she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and stress from caregiving or first responder roles. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related struggles and issues tied to family of origin and blended family dynamics.

Dr. Eaton uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods. In sessions she focuses on current problems, practical skills, and building on a person’s strengths. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques are often part of her work.

Her approach avoids labels and centers the person’s experience. She pays attention to cultural and spiritual needs and adapts strategies to each individual. Sessions aim to reduce daily distress, improve coping, and help people make changes they can maintain.

Therapy can include conversations about difficult memories, practicing new skills, and setting small goals between meetings. Dr. Eaton supports clients as they try new ways of handling stress, relationships, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches available online and what they do

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then try practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and for building coping skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. This approach can help with stress, grief, and long-term mood or addiction concerns.

Dr. Eaton will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination feels right. That choice is based on the individual's goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. The plan can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or noting progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
