Joey is so easy to talk to, I forget that I’m in “therapy” most times, unless I break down, That’s when he really gives good advice and his “professional “side shows up. After each and every session, I certainly feel I’ve made progress and feel better. Thanks Joey!

More about Joey

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I have been an outpatient mental health practioner since 1998. I have mainly worked with adults with dual diagnosis and mostly in individual sessions. I am a white male, but I am very liberal and multicultural. I am married to an Asian American and live in Southeast Texas with a mainly Hispanic/Mexican American population. I also have several neighbors in the military.

I have treated patients on an outpatient basis in clinics for depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and also with a dual diagnosis involving an addiction. I have several methods for managing stress, anxiety, and anger. I also can do diagnostic impressions via psychosocial assessments and treatment plans. I began my practice in Louisiana in 1998 and I have been practicing in Texas since 2012. I began my practice after earning my degree in counselor education and receiving my LPC. I also hold degrees in psychology at the bachelors and masters level and in social work at the masters level.

I speak and understand American English. My LPC Texas license number is 65372 and is currently active. And in June 2021, I passed my ASWB licensing exam in social work. I applied and should get my LMSW certificate in the mail by end of August 2021.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Joey is very supportive, understanding, and creates a safe space for one to share their thoughts and feelings. He helps me make sense of the complex situations in my mind, and process them better. He also offers a different perspective to make you feel less alone and gives different methods of dealing with anxiety too.

Reviewed January 2022

I e only spoken with Joey once before the holidays but in that one session he said something that I had been thinking but couldn’t quite make the change from jobs. I carry around a lot of stress from my current position and his input helped me make the decision to take the leap and start work with a different company.
