Dr. Susan Eaton , LPC

Dr. Susan Eaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with more than 20 years of experience in counseling, behavior modification, and life coaching. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury (TBI), relationship struggles, ADHD, cognitive deficits, learning disabilities, stroke recovery, aging-related issues, and grief or loss.

She has supported many individuals who experience co-occurring PTSD and brain injury, and she has worked with both emotional and physical trauma. Her counseling style is warm and interactive; she approaches each person with dignity, respect, sensitivity, compassion, and understanding, avoiding labels and focusing on the whole person while seeking practical solutions.

Dr. Eaton integrates a humanistic stance with cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic counseling, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She emphasizes client strengths and uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques to address present concerns. Therapy is centered on the issues and needs a person brings, with attention to cultural and spiritual factors. Seeking help takes strength, and Dr. Eaton aims to support those ready to take an initial step toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapeutic Support

Dr. Eaton often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify personal values and practice psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. ACT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and issues that interfere with valued living.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach that emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration. This method supports clients in exploring their experience at their own pace and can be useful for relationship, self-esteem, and life-transition concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent component of Dr. Eaton's work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to shift those patterns, which many therapists use for mood, stress, and anxiety-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Eaton collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. In online sessions she applies these approaches adaptively to match individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Dr. Eaton is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow clients to attend sessions from home, manage care around work and family commitments, and maintain continuity of support despite geographic or time constraints.
