Dr. Susan Eaton, LPC

Dr. Susan Eaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 28 years of clinical experience. She sees people who are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and helps them find practical ways to cope. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She focuses on what is happening now and works with each person’s strengths. That means talking through specific problems, learning skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and trying small changes that fit everyday life. Sessions draw on plain, usable tools rather than labels or complex jargon.

Her background includes long experience supporting people with depression, trauma, addictions, ADHD, grief, relationship difficulties, and co-occurring challenges such as brain injury and PTSD. Over her career she has worked with diverse concerns including sleep and eating issues, caregiver stress, and forgiveness work.

Clinically she integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered approaches. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques when they fit the client's goals.

Sessions emphasize practical steps, steady support, and tailoring work to cultural and spiritual needs. People who want a counselor who listens, offers clear strategies, and helps plan small changes may find her approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches useful for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with ongoing anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the therapist’s nonjudgmental presence to help people feel understood and clarify their own goals.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about what’s most bothersome, what goals feel important, and which methods feel workable. Together they adapt techniques and pace to suit each person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter contact is helpful. It can also let someone use video when visual cues matter or a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Discuss practical scheduling needs with the therapist to find the best way to make therapy part of everyday life.
