About Susan
Dr. Susan Eaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 28 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress.
Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping someone take manageable steps toward feeling better. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters to each person. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and actions.
How Susan works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) are also part of her toolkit when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central. Sessions focus on current problems and on skills people can use right away. She pays attention to grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, and the stress that comes with caregiving.
She also works with mood disorders and substance use issues alongside other co-occurring difficulties. Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids labels while looking for real solutions.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches are woven into conversations when helpful. People who want clear steps, emotional support, and practical tools often find this method useful. Dr.
Eaton offers a mix of structured techniques and empathetic listening to help people move toward their goals.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, committed steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting attention from avoidance to action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and shifting emotional responses and attachment patterns, which can be useful when relationship or intimacy issues are a main concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose and try methods based on your goals, preferences, and what is happening in sessions. Decisions are collaborative and may combine techniques from different models to meet your needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy lives. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and allow visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share thoughts between sessions or check in on progress. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while using familiar, practical strategies.
