Zachary Havens

Zachary Havens, LPCC, offers help for people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and trauma. He writes and talks plainly with clients and aims to make the first step feel manageable. He stresses practical progress and clear goals while keeping sessions calm and direct.

He creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small actions that can change daily life. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build values-driven habits.

Zachary brings six years of professional experience in mental health work. That background includes supporting people after difficult events and during life transitions that leave them feeling stuck. He is completing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, and uses mindfulness skills to help with grounding and focus.

Sessions aim to move toward client-agreed goals at a steady pace. He often blends short-term problem solving with longer work on patterns that keep returning. People who choose him can expect clear explanations, practical exercises, and follow-up steps between meetings.

He is licensed in Ohio as an LPCC, speaks English, and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether his straightforward, goal-focused style fits their needs before beginning.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anger, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress and is currently being added to his set of tools.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and weigh them against the client's goals, preferences, and situation. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits what the person wants to accomplish.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or removing the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, guide exposure work, practice grounding and mindfulness, and track progress between meetings. Ask about session length, frequency, and any tools used so arrangements match practical needs and therapy goals.
