About Paige
Paige Achten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also helps people facing parenting strains, sleep trouble, relationship and family conflicts, and issues around self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
Paige draws on practical, plainspoken methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and move at a pace they set.
Background and approach
She looks at both thoughts and behaviors and checks in with how the body responds to stress and loss. Her background includes time in healthcare supporting older adults and caregivers, which shaped her interest in aging and medical concerns. That experience also informs work with chronic illness, cancer, and caregiver stress.
She has worked with a range of ages but most of her current caseload is young adults through older adults. Paige uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods, trauma-focused work, and mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines.
Therapy begins by identifying goals and small, practical steps toward them. Sessions aim to be calm and conversational. Paige brings steady presence and a sense of humor when it fits.
The first meeting is focused on understanding needs and setting a path forward together.

Online support
How therapy methods and online sessions fit together
Paige commonly blends cognitive behavioral work with trauma-focused techniques and acceptance-based ideas to help people make concrete changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, used for trauma, helps process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and small actions, helping people stay connected to what matters even when feelings are hard.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that fit the person’s goals, history, and comfort level. That means trying things, checking how they feel, and adjusting as needed so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in or have shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
