(New parts will be in italics) Archie Hopper is, on the surface, a pretty composed middle aged man. Working as a therapist in Storybrook, his temprement is suited to that. It's assumed he has several clients at his practice, but his interactions as a threapist have only been shown with Henry and Regina, and during both sessions he's demonstrated patience and understanding of how to give professional suggestions to both of them.
He's very observant, as demonstrated when he pointed out that Henry was lying about being on a field trip, but his observations can cloud his judgment. He can be quick to act when someone is in danger ("That still small voice", when he goes into the mine to find Henry) which can lead to disregarding his own safety; which shows his compassion for others. This may be due to his past as Jiminy Cricket but this is just speculation on my part.
Archie has a compassionate frankness in the episode "An Apple Red as Blood", during his conversation with Emma. He side-steps the choice of agreeing or disagreeing with her regarding Henry's situation, but points out what she may or may not have seen: That her actions were hurting Henry.
He's shown being protective of both his patients and very slightly of his routine in the episode "The Doctor" when Doctor Whale enters his office during his session with Regina, Archie quickly orders him to leave. I think this would extend easily to the rest of his clients, but also to his friends.
He's also shown to be an animal lover (or at least a dog person) with his pet dog, Pongo, who accompanies him around the town and is well cared for.
