About Paige
Paige Achten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative, letting each person set goals and choose the pace. Her style aims to be calm and down-to-earth, and she brings a sense of humor when it fits.
Paige draws on eight years of experience in healthcare settings, including work with older adults and caregivers.
Background and approach
She has spent time supporting people with depression, grief, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and trauma. Her background gives her experience with a wide range of life events and health-related challenges. In sessions she combines several approaches.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns, and she includes mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce reactivity. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one of the tools she may use with trauma-related concerns.
Paige checks in about both mind and body, and she focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. She prioritizes building a trusting relationship and works with clients to shape therapy around their daily life and responsibilities. People can expect an initial meeting that centers on goals and history, followed by collaborative planning.
Her experience in healthcare and with caregivers informs how she supports people facing illness, aging concerns, or long-term stressors.

Online support
Approaches used online and how they help
Paige commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. CBT works well for worries, low mood, and sleep troubles by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help when people feel stuck or are coping with chronic stress or health challenges.
EMDR is available as one of the tools she may offer for processing trauma-related memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It is used alongside other approaches to support healing from past hurts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, and then adapt techniques to fit those needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people work face-to-face when bandwidth and setting allow. Phone sessions require less data and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and for people who prefer typed communication. Licensed professionals can use these formats to tailor care to each person’s life and routines.
