About Joey
Joey Ratcliff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He brings three years of experience as an LPC and focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Joey uses straightforward language and practical strategies in sessions.
He offers brief, focused work for people facing life changes, grief, or coping with trauma and abuse. Joey also supports those dealing with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
How Joey works
He can help people navigating communication problems, codependency, and blended family issues. Joey draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills.
Mindfulness practices and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of his approach to help people notice choices and set realistic goals. Sessions commonly address substance use, domestic violence histories, dissociation, and challenges tied to hospice or end-of-life situations. Joey also works with concerns about isolation, life purpose, and family of origin problems.
He adapts pacing based on each person’s needs and current stress level. People meet with Joey by video, phone, live chat, or messaging. He speaks English and practices from Texas.
To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session through the site.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental listening. The therapist helps people describe what matters to them and supports their own choices for change. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and understood before trying new skills.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches simple techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is practical for stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Joey will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused work with CBT skills or brief solution-focused steps to reach concrete goals.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around school, work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
