About Kristine
Dr. Kristine (Kristy) Eaton is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with three decades of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and steady, aimed at practical change rather than labels. She builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through scary or confusing feelings. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person, with attention to what works in everyday life.
How Kristine works
She listens for what matters most and helps people set clear, achievable next steps. Dr. Eaton uses several well-known techniques to guide work in session.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Mindfulness-based approaches help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity.
She also draws on client-centered principles, which keep the client’s experience at the center of planning. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and needs help finding internal reasons to change. Together these methods let her tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
People come to her for practical support after divorce or separation, to work through family of origin issues, or to address caregiver stress, body image, and codependency. She brings steady clinical experience and simple, usable tools to those tasks.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Eaton commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. CBT is concrete and action-oriented, with exercises to practice between sessions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and communication skills are needed; DBT teaches specific skills for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals, comfort, and what helps in day-to-day life. The process is collaborative so clients understand why a technique is chosen and how it will be used.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls let sessions feel closest to in-person meetings, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while using the approaches described above.
