I see clients both virtually and in person; and in our work together, you will create or reconnect with a life worth living. You will come to see emotions - even the painful emotions of anger, sadness and guilt - as signals that something needs your attention rather than something to be avoided. You will gain an understanding of who you are and how you are, which will facilitate personal changes you may want to make or help you navigate challenges you are facing. And maybe, most importantly, you will strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others.

To all you Texas queerdos, weirdos, gamers, & outsiders, I challenge you to embrace & value your "other-ness." You may have been told you're wrong, strange, stupid, immature, selfish, etc. since you can first remember. You may think you need to constantly change yourself & what you're doing to please others - or even exist among others. You may feel you're too needy, high-maintenance, or [messed]-up compared to others around you. I see you. You don't have to keep relentlessly trying to make it on your own - this isn't a From Software game after all!

My typical clients are adults who have so much compassion and empathy for others but find it hard to extend that kindness to themselves. They often don't even realize how much they beat themselves up. They may be recovering from a toxic relationship with a spouse or a parent. They are trying to stop the endless stream of worries and panicked feelings. They want to set down the enormous weight of all those expectations. Mostly, my clients want to feel safe in their homes, communities, relationships, minds and their own bodies. Appointments available now. Schedule online at ChrisEatonLPC.com.

Do you have a child who is struggling or a marriage that could be better? Life can present many challenges and sometimes we or the ones we love could use some extra help getting through these challenges successfully. With all the therapists and counselors available, it's helpful to have one who has had experience working with your concerns and is available at a time that works for you.

My desire is to be a conduit in which healing would pass through my life experience and professional training in a way that benefits and brings hope, health, and restoration to those I counsel.

Life has a funny way of throwing us curve ball after curve ball, and it can seem impossible at times to ever get a handle on things. As we do our best to navigate our complex world, we are often plagued by things like uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, questions about our purpose in life, struggling with finding our place in the world, and all the normal ups and downs that start to weigh on us. If this sounds like you, rest assured that you're in the right place, and that you should be proud for taking the first step towards managing the challenges that burden you.

There is wisdom in seeking biblical guidance in order to sort through and resolve life's challenges. At times, we place our trust in others to meet our needs or in our own ability to control our circumstances, only to find them insufficient. Yet meaningful change is a work of God through Christ as we submit our lives to him. God has provided believers a Helper, the Holy Spirit, who empowers, comforts, and guides us through each step of the way. Ultimately, God is interested in changing our hearts, for out of the heart flows all the issues of life.

When trauma impacts one member of a family, the ripple effects impact everyone. I believe that the best way to help children and adolescents heal is to work together with parents and caregivers to provide tools and resources for strengthening connection and encouraging positive coping.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
