Bethany Eakle, LCSW

Bethany Eakle believes people can move through and beyond the difficulties life presents when they are given practical tools, information, and clear direction. She approaches each person with support, guidance, and unconditional positive regard, helping clients uncover strengths they may not have known they possessed. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) she combines formal training with an empathetic stance to address a wide range of concerns, from stress and anxiety to trauma, relationship struggles, and transitions.

Bethany earned her bachelor’s degree in 2003 and completed a Master of Social Work in 2007. Her therapeutic style is eclectic and tailored to the individual, often leaning on solution-focused and client-centered methods with a strengths-based, mindful orientation. She works collaboratively with clients to define realistic, achievable outcomes and then builds a plan to pursue those goals. At times her role is to provide practical strategies and resources, and at other times to simply listen and offer steady emotional support.

Acknowledging a problem and reaching out requires courage and resolve; Bethany honors that process and partners with clients to help them realize their goals and move toward greater well-being.

Collaborative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Bethany incorporates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening respectfully and following the client’s lead so therapy reflects the person’s values and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore emotions, relationships, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, a structured method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and stress. CBT is useful for clients who want concrete tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior.

Mindfulness-based techniques are woven into her work as well, teaching skills to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can be helpful for managing stress, emotional regulation, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany partners with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect in ways that match their schedules and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
