Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Eaton draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their own solutions; it is useful for relationship concerns, self esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and emotions, and it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and anger issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Eaton works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine these approaches to tailor care to each individual.
Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes consistent care more accessible. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them while maintaining regular contact with their therapist.
