Hello, I'm a licensed professional counselor and supervisor based in Texas. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Psychology from The University of Texas and my master's degree in Psychology from Houston Baptist University. My focus is primarily on assisting teens and adults who face an array of challenges such as managing anger, coping with anxiety and depression, dealing with trauma/abuse, addressing relationship issues, and adapting to life changes.
You don't have to be in crisis to want therapy. Maybe life is mostly working, but something isn't. You might be dealing with life or work stress, relationship patterns, dating, sexual concerns, anxiety, overthinking, or simply feeling stuck and wanting something to change.
I tend to work best with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, and willing to get curious about themselves. You don't need to know exactly what is wrong or have the right words for it. "Something is bothering me" is enough. What matters more is that you're willing to look honestly at what happens, when it happens, and how you show up in it.
My style is direct, curious, collaborative, and active. We won't just talk about what happened. We'll pay attention to what comes up in session, explore the emotions, needs, and patterns underneath your reactions, and work on responding differently when it matters.
I'm neurodivergent and highly sensitive myself, and my practice is sex-positive, queer-affirming, kink-aware, and welcoming of polyamory and ENM. You don't need to censor or explain who you are here. Come curious and ready to participate. We'll figure out the rest together.
Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.
For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.
As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.
I’m Dr. Joey Achacoso, PhD, LPC-S, CIT—a developmental psychologist, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Certified IMAGO Therapist, child-centered play therapist, and parent coach. For more than two decades, I have helped children, teens, adults, couples, parents, and families navigate difficult moments and find their way back to greater understanding, confidence, and connection. Long before becoming a therapist, I was drawn to roles centered on listening, teaching, and helping others—including serving as a youth minister and volunteer Big Buddy. Those experiences still shape the warmth, curiosity, and respect I bring to therapy today. I do not reduce people to symptoms or treat their strengths as problems. Instead, we explore the needs and patterns beneath the struggle and develop practical new ways of responding. My treatment areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, intense childhood behavior, emotional regulation, and family disconnection. My work draws from relational, developmental, family-systems, IMAGO, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and play-therapy approaches.
