About Bethany
Bethany Eakle offers calm, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients find practical steps they can use right away. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she draws on 17 years of practice to guide conversations and build plans that fit each person’s needs.
She aims to create a space where people can talk about painful or confusing experiences.
Background and approach
Bethany listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters most to them. She uses straightforward tools and short-term strategies so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings. Bethany earned a Bachelor’s degree in 2003 and a Master’s in Social Work in 2007.
That background informs how she blends different methods to match the client. Her style is largely client-centered and strengths focused, with attention to current problems and practical solutions. Common concerns she addresses include depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life issues, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
She also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career or life transitions. In sessions Bethany may use elements of cognitive behavioral work, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and solution-focused planning. She works collaboratively to set achievable goals and develop steps to meet them.
Sometimes people want ongoing support; sometimes they prefer short-term problem solving. Bethany tailors the plan to the person’s goals and situation.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to find what matters most. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard before deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into parts you can change, and it often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review your concerns and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as goals shift or new needs appear.
Online sessions let people meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for full conversations and using visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, quicker skill coaching, or flexible support between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum on working toward goals.
