About Bethany
Bethany Eakle is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and questions about self-worth. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach aims to help people find strengths they did not know they had and build skills for everyday life.
She works from a client-centered stance, meaning the client's goals guide the work. Bethany often uses solution-focused methods and mindfulness to help people make concrete changes. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas when thoughts, emotions, or behaviors get in the way.
With 17 years of experience, she has supported people through grief, caregiving stress, career transitions, parenting challenges, and issues related to codependency. She also assists with eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and end-of-life or hospice-related worries. Bethany emphasizes steady support, practical tools, and clear goal-setting.
Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. Sessions may include setting small, achievable steps, practicing new coping skills, or simply having space to talk through difficult feelings. She will also offer resources and direction when appropriate.
Acknowledging a problem takes courage, and Bethany aims to meet that courage with respect and steady guidance. She encourages people to start where they are and build toward outcomes that matter to them.
How Bethany’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and what matters most to them. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape a plan that follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps with feeling stuck, relationship questions, and building self-worth.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes mindfulness, distress tolerance, and skills to regulate emotions, which can help with anger, mood swings, and impulse challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bethany will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of approaches that fit. This collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on practical, usable skills and steady support that fit into everyday routines.
