About Zachary
Zachary Havens is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Zachary frames therapy as a practical collaboration and invites straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way of daily life.
He uses clear, action-oriented methods to help people change patterns that feel stuck. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, practicing skills to respond differently, and setting small, doable goals. His work includes attention to motivation, confidence, and the impact of past injuries or traumatic events on current functioning.
Zachary has experience supporting people facing work-related stress, first responder issues, and adjustment after injury. He is completing additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness into sessions. These approaches aim to reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day coping.
He encourages direct talk about what is most distressing and about practical steps forward. Sessions look at specific situations where anger or anxiety shows up, then try different ways of responding. Progress is tracked by real-world changes, like fewer outbursts at home or improved concentration at work.
People who prefer straightforward feedback and skills practice may find his style useful. He offers sessions in English and works with international clients; people are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for ongoing anger, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it often includes simple exercises and homework to use between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets disturbing memories and strong emotional reactions; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms and distress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that fit the client's goals and day-to-day life. They will adjust the plan if a method does not seem to be helping or if priorities change over time.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and avoid travel time on workdays. It can also let people practice new skills in their everyday settings and bring real examples to sessions. Licensed professionals typically adapt homework and exercises so clients can try changes between meetings and track what works.
