About Susan
Dr. Susan Eaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 28 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship strain, and codependency concerns. She listens without judgment and helps clients focus on manageable steps forward.
Her approach is practical and people-centered. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address current problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) also inform her work when emotion regulation and relationship patterns are central.
Sessions focus on real-life changes. She uses mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strength-based strategies to build coping skills. The goal is clearer choices, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning rather than labels or neat categories.
She has long experience helping people with co-occurring issues, such as trauma alongside brain injury, grief, or substance challenges. Cultural and spiritual needs are treated with sensitivity. Dr. Eaton emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion while guiding clients toward the life they want.

How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve routines. It often helps with sleep, mood, and coping skills. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and perspective, with the therapist offering empathy and support while clients lead the pace of change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking to make sure they fit your life. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use techniques like guided mindfulness or skills practice from wherever they are, making it simpler to apply new habits between sessions.
