About Paige
Paige Achten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She works with adults across the lifespan and often supports young adults and older adults. Sessions focus on clear goals set by the client and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Paige draws on a mix of practical strategies and compassionate listening. She pays attention to both thoughts and body responses, and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Early sessions are used to understand what matters most and to set realistic steps forward. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and approaches that emphasize acceptance and mindfulness. These are selected to match the client’s goals, whether that means reducing anxiety, processing loss, or managing mood shifts.
Paige has eight years of experience and has spent time working in healthcare settings with geriatric patients and caregivers. That background informs how she supports people dealing with illness, caregiving stress, and aging-related concerns. People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative style.
She aims to be calm and approachable, and she brings a sense of humor when it fits. The first session centers on getting to know the person and clarifying what change they want to see.

Online support
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name difficult feelings and then use those insights to change patterns in relationships and self-treatment. It can be useful when the goal is to understand emotions that drive behavior and improve emotional connection with oneself.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small actions that align with those values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching ways to accept unpleasant thoughts while committing to meaningful steps.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity about goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from EFT, ACT, CBT, or EMDR over time to address different concerns.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or times when typing is more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what helps most.
