Getting to know Joseph Achacoso

Hi. I'm Joey Achacoso. For over 20 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have helped people find positive ways to connect with themselves, their partners and children, and their world. I earned my PhD in Developmental and Child Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin, which deepens my understanding of the unique challenges faced by children and families. I work with people of all ages and use primarily a Rogerian approach where I meet you where you are and follow your lead in how we progress in our journey together, whether in person or online. My approach I vary therapeutic techniques based on your needs and goals each visit. I frequently practice cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, play, art, sand-tray, music, and adventure-based family therapy. My focus My style fits children, adolescents, parents, families, couples, and adults. We all can experience stress, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. I help people with these feelings by listening and teaching coping skills to feel better and develop a more positive perspective. My communication style My style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want you to feel at ease and safe sharing anything. I listen to everyone I help with compassion. During each visit, you will be seen and heard. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help and teach people. Whether as a Youth Minister, volunteering as a Big Buddy for United Way, or being a trusted friend, I have naturally been drawn to helping people navigate difficult times. I enjoy seeing those I help become their best selves when they feel seen, heard, and validated. My goals for you I help you define what you want to accomplish in our time together. We will address your needs, stressors, and changes you want to see in your life.
