About Susan

Dr. Susan Eaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who welcomes adults seeking help with a broad range of concerns, including ADHD, addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and family stress.

Background and approach

With 28 years of professional experience, she offers practical support for clients facing grief, caregiving strain, mood disorders, and challenges like sleep and eating difficulties. Her background also includes work with co-occurring conditions and complex presentations such as PTSD combined with brain injury and substance use issues.

Her approach blends humanistic care with evidence-based techniques, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as appropriate. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and strengths-based problem solving while tailoring sessions to the current needs presented.

Sessions are client-centered and interactive, and she incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful. Dr.

Eaton frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at restoring a more fulfilling life. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and strives to offer steadiness, hope, and practical strategies so clients can pursue meaningful change at their own pace.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and What They Do

Dr. Eaton commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. ACT focuses on identifying values and building psychological flexibility so clients can move toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. CBT targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood instability.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will explore a client's goals, preferences, and presenting needs during early sessions and draw from these approaches to create a tailored plan that balances skill-building, emotional processing, and values-based work.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals.
