About Kristine

Dr. Kristine (Kristy) Eaton is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana. She brings 30 years of experience in mental health to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

Kristy uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and strong reactions make everyday life harder. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people slow down and notice what they are feeling in the moment.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to find the motivation to make changes that matter to them. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with suggestions that can be tried between meetings. Kristy works in a direct, respectful way and encourages small, workable steps.

She helps people sort priorities and practice new skills at a pace that fits family life. Her background supports people who need steady guidance through parenting challenges and relationship transitions. Overall, her work centers on practical strategies and steady support so parents and adults can handle stress better, improve relationships, and build confidence over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective. It focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and building a respectful, accepting relationship that helps the person feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress or low mood and teaches simple skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday parenting challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Client-Centered techniques, DBT skills, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing will best meet their needs and goals. The plan can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

Online therapy lets people work on these approaches from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, school runs, and work hours. It also allows for brief check-ins or more in-depth meetings depending on what someone needs at the moment, helping skills and strategies transfer into daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
