Bethany Eakle , LCSW

Bethany Eakle brings a compassionate, pragmatic approach to helping people navigate life's challenges. With a Bachelor’s degree earned in 2003 and a Master’s in Social Work completed in 2007, she draws on years of clinical experience to offer guidance, resources, and steady support. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she blends education and practical tools to help clients discover strengths they may not have recognized and to move toward clearer, more manageable goals.

Her work is grounded in an eclectic, client-centered style that often emphasizes solution-focused planning, strengths-based perspectives, and mindful awareness. She collaborates with each person to identify realistic outcomes and to build step-by-step plans for reaching those objectives, while also offering attentive listening and ongoing emotional support when needed. Bethany aims to create a welcoming space where individuals can explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences that cause distress and begin to develop the skills and understanding needed to cope more effectively.

Recognizing that reaching out for help requires courage and commitment, she honors that effort and partners with clients to clarify goals, reduce overwhelm, and support meaningful progress. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns from stress and anxiety to relationship and family issues, and she focuses on helping people reclaim a sense of agency in their lives.

How Bethany Uses Practical Therapies in Online Care

Bethany integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are, offering empathic listening and support to help clients explore their feelings and priorities and to build a stronger sense of self. CBT is a skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bethany works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors techniques to fit those priorities so clients feel involved in choosing the path forward.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to practice skills between appointments, supporting steady progress without requiring travel.
