Bethany Eakle , LCSW

Bethany Eakle brings a hopeful, practical perspective to therapy, believing people can overcome life’s challenges when given the right tools, education, and direction. She views struggles as opportunities to discover previously unrecognized strengths and works alongside individuals to build those capacities. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) she combines professional training with empathy and unconditional positive regard to help people navigate stress, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, and other sources of distress.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in 2003 and a Master of Social Work in 2007, and her therapeutic style is intentionally eclectic to meet the needs of each person. Much of her work is client-centered and solution-focused, informed by a strengths-based and mindful outlook. Bethany collaborates with clients to set clear, achievable goals and develops practical plans to reach them, while also offering attentive listening and ongoing emotional support when that is what someone needs most.

Reaching out for help takes courage, and Bethany acknowledges that first step. She aims to create an environment where clients can openly explore thoughts and experiences that cause distress and move toward their individual goals and greater potential.

Approaches That Fit Remote Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation while the therapist listens, reflects, and supports personal insight and growth. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns by honoring the client’s goals and pace.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals, helping people identify small, achievable changes that move them toward desired outcomes. It’s useful for clients looking for focused problem-solving and clear progress in areas like coping with life changes or improving relationships.

Mindfulness therapy teaches techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and emotions. These practices can support stress management, anxiety reduction, and improved emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bethany works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Licensed professionals often combine these approaches to tailor care for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow ongoing connection, timely check-ins, and varied formats to suit different communication styles and practical needs.
