About Zachary

Zachary Havens is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with six years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Zachary also addresses parenting questions, relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, and career stress. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

He takes a direct, conversational approach. He listens, asks straightforward questions, and works with clients to set clear goals. Treatment combines practical strategies and reflection. Clients can expect to practice new skills between meetings to build changes into daily life.

Zachary uses a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered approaches, mindfulness, and EMDR work. He is completing EMDR training and integrates it thoughtfully where appropriate. This mix helps address anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, mood shifts, and behavior patterns that keep someone feeling stuck.

He has experience supporting people who face work-related stress, first responder challenges, rehabilitation after injury, and difficulties tied to family of origin or fatherhood roles. His work also covers caregiver strain, chronic health concerns, and issues around body image and impulsivity. The focus is on identifying manageable steps toward the client's goals.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Zachary uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options to make sure they fit their circumstances.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. Online ACT sessions often use exercises to notice difficult thoughts and then plan small behavior changes that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts. In remote sessions CBT commonly uses worksheets, thought records, and short practice tasks between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to what you need.

The original profile does not list exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Choosing a format often comes down to practical concerns - shorter phone check-ins when time is tight, video meetings when visual cues help, or a simple audio call when bandwidth is limited. The aim is to fit sessions into daily life so therapeutic work continues between appointments without adding more stress.
