I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been practicing since 1995, most of this time in Community Mental Health Programs. I have worked with many issues of concern to my clients, ranging from serious mental illness to life choices. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, elderly individuals, couples and groups. In 2005, I opened my private practice and kept it open full time until 2020. During the pandemic, my clientele reduced due to my choosing to begin telehealth sessions instead of face-to-face sessions. I am residing in a smaller city and most of the population is not comfortable with tele-health so I decided to continue at a reduced capacity as long as possible. In early 2021, I accepted the vaccine in an effort to revive my practice but became ill due to complications. I stopped practicing for approximately 3 months, until I could be sure that I was feeling well enough to provide my clients with the services they deserved. In December 2021, I tested positive with the virus and became very ill. I am now practicing through Better Help rather than begin my solo private practice again. I am competent in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Transpersonal therapies. I specifically focus on hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child support in the Transpersonal therapies. Each of these therapies are used based on the treatment plan which is derived from the problems or concerns that the client defines as their choice for treatment and the goal they wish to reach. In working with couples, the goal is to enhance healing independently and interdependently. I believe that we are attracted to someone who fits like a lock and key with ourselves. This engages our personal issues so that our significant other becomes the rock upon which we break ourselves and then heal through positive communication techniques, compromise and negotiation. I believe that each person is unique and the path for growth of each person can only be determined by themselves, or jointly, for couples. My role in the support of my clients is to lend them my knowledge, feedback and guidance as they grow through the process of the journey. Each client has the right to self-determination and respect and can refuse any treatment suggestion without fear of consequences. I am honored to assist you in your choice of becoming the best version of yourself, and, if appropriate, as a union of two creating a separate identity while maintaining each individually.

Elaijia Eaton, LPC, LCMHC, LCDC, Life Enrichment Advisor (the non-conformist therapist) Introduction Hi you! I commend you for being here! Reaching out for support takes real courage, which is often the first step toward clarity. While, I’m not your typical therapist, a very modern and forever changing one, I respect diversity and the unique nature of humans. My approach is non-traditional, real, and grounded in the belief that change doesn’t have to look one way to work. It's not a linear process. We welcome Prochaska's Stages of Change here in whatever order it appears. However, clients can expect to be challenged, confronted, and held accountable. Readiness or lack thereof can impact the way one receives therapy, so we glide to the level of invasiveness relevant to the client. Collaboration is the unique skill used in therapy with me. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) based in Texas. I’ve worked in the human services field for years—well before becoming fully licensed—supporting teens, adults, couples, and families across multiple systems. In the past, I worked full-time as a Family-Based Safety Service Specialist III, meaning daily tasks of working with children and families navigating high-stress, high-stakes situations. The high success rate of that work combined with the impact I have had with therapy clients deeply informs my practice. EXCITING-You get to be on the receiving end! Availability I’m currently accepting clients ages 16 and older for virtual counseling in Texas, South Carolina, and Vermont. Other states may soon be determined and will be discussed as things change. Who I Serve 
I work best with clients who often feel unseen in systems, families, traditional settings, school, friend groups, relationships, etc. This includes young adults, creatives, outliers, self-employed, unique minded folk (personality challenges), and individuals navigating complex personal, cultural, or systemic challenges. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship or identity concerns, addiction issues, pornography use, or are processing suicidal thoughts (non-crisis) or personality challenges, we should consult. What to Expect
Therapy with me Collaboration, honesty, communication, and authenticity. My space is open, multicultural, and judgment-free. I bring empathy, directness, and clarity—but you steer the ship. Think of me as your passenger seat navigator while you drive toward your goals. You bring the truth, I bring the pen and pad helping you to realign yourself with YOURSELF. Boundaries Matter
 All sessions are HIPAA-compliant and scheduled through the Betterhelp platform, its affiliates, and its offerings. Communication is limited to session time unless otherwise discussed. The text message option will likely be used for convenience-scheduling, tardiness, mishaps, homework topic reminders, technical issues, etc. To protect the integrity of clients, video call is my go-to in the client-counselor relationship. My role is to hold the canvas while the client paint through a collaborative relationship. Therapy works best when both the client and therapist show up fully and consistently. The therapist is better able to help clients when clients are comfortable sharing needs in an authentic fashion. Modalities • Client-Centered Therapy • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) • Reality Therapy • Eye Movement De-sensitization Therapy (EMDR) (requires consultation) Salutation Your smile holds a story—and I’m here to help you unpack yours with care, counseling and therapy skills, and mutual respect. This space is yours, and it starts with one step.

Finding a licensed therapist near you in Texas can be an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Texas, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Texas (TX). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists on BetterHelp support adults across Texas with a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including:

Therapists use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based methods tailored to individual needs.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas

When searching for a therapist near me in Texas, many people compare online therapy with traditional in-person care. Online therapy offers several potential advantages:

  • Greater accessibility: Attend sessions from anywhere with an internet connection

  • Flexible scheduling: Sessions that fit around work, family, or school commitments
  • Expanded provider options: Access licensed therapists across Texas, not just nearby offices
