About Zachary
Zachary Havens is an Ohio LPCC with six years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles. He also supports concerns such as relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, and navigating life changes common in young adulthood.
Zachary keeps sessions direct and conversational. He asks questions, listens to what matters most, and works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Conversations focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building skills that can be used outside of sessions.
His background includes work with people facing significant life events and traumas that leave them feeling stuck. He describes helping clients clarify values, notice patterns, and take small steps toward change. He also has experience addressing career stress, caregiver strain, and challenges linked to body image and eating.
Zachary uses a mix of clinical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, EMDR, and Mindfulness practices. He describes integrating these tools based on what each person needs rather than sticking to one method.
People who contact him are often dealing with transitions like leaving home, starting work, relationship strain, or questions about identity. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To get started, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts. It helps people who feel stuck by making small, values-driven changes to daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration; the therapist follows the person's lead and supports them in making their own meaning and choices.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Zachary works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks from school or work. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, guided practices, and EMDR-related techniques for remote sessions when appropriate.
