About Susan
Susan Eakins is an LCSW in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and life changes. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical strengths they can use to address current struggles.
Her work emphasizes straightforward collaboration. She listens to what people bring and helps them identify small, actionable steps. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next, not on blaming or rehashing the past.
Susan pays close attention to communication problems that complicate relationships. She helps people spot patterns in how they talk and respond, and practices clearer ways to express needs and limits. This often reduces tension and makes day-to-day life easier.
When grief or major life shifts arrive, she offers steady structure and coping strategies. Sessions include concrete tools for managing intense feelings and returning to routine tasks when that feels possible. She balances problem-solving with time to acknowledge loss.
Susan also works with anxiety and depression by breaking issues into manageable pieces. She helps people set small goals, test new behaviors, and notice what changes. The emphasis is on usable skills that fit into typical daily life.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Many common evidence-based techniques focus on skills people can practice between meetings. One approach involves breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. This helps people notice what works and build confidence through small successes.Another approach centers on improving communication. It teaches concrete ways to state needs, set boundaries, and respond differently in tense moments. Practicing these skills in session can make everyday interactions feel less fraught and more constructive.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person's goals, preferences, and current challenges and then propose techniques to try. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust methods as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.
