Background and approach

She leans on methods that build coping tools, increase emotional awareness, and change unhelpful patterns. Her training includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people live by their values while tolerating hard feelings. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift thinking that fuels distress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit for addressing painful relationship themes and attachment concerns. Across 28 years in practice, Dr. Eaton has worked with people facing grief, trauma, addiction, mood disorders, parenting stress, and complex life changes.

Her Texas license is LPC 14886. Sessions are offered in English. She aims to be respectful, compassionate, and practical in each meeting.

If someone is ready to make a change, she helps them identify steps they can try and checks progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like depression and worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports understanding strong emotions and improving patterns that affect close relationships and attachment.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those needs. Together they will track what helps and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which make scheduling more flexible. These formats let people fit counseling into busy days, use shorter check-ins when needed, and review skills between meetings. For many, online sessions make it easier to access licensed professionals and keep therapy consistent over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
