About Susan
Dr. Susan Eaton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other stressors.
Her approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. She combines straightforward conversation with hands-on tools. Sessions typically include goal setting, behavioral strategies, and skills practice.
She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas alongside cognitive behavior techniques to help people notice patterns and make different choices.
Background and approach
Dr. Eaton also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to strengthen self-awareness and understanding. This means she listens closely and helps people name feelings and needs.
When trauma, grief, or loss are present, she helps people process those experiences at a manageable pace. Her work often addresses co-occurring challenges such as addiction, ADHD, sleep problems, and relationship conflict. She pays attention to caregiver stress, family of origin issues, codependency, and first responder concerns.
Her goal is to help people build practical skills that fit their life circumstances. Sessions are offered in several online formats, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions use this approach to set small, workable goals and practice acceptance and action steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns; in remote sessions this often means learning specific skills, doing short exercises, and tracking progress together between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change or new issues come up, and the therapist checks in regularly to make sure the plan stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to touch base more often, send brief updates, or practice skills in real time. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward.
