Zachary Havens, LPCC

Zachary Havens, LPCC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about painful experiences and hard decisions. He emphasizes small steps toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

He uses practical methods to help people feel less stuck after big life changes. Sessions focus on building skills for coping with mood shifts, addictive behaviors, sleep problems, and career stress. He also supports people working through grief, relationship concerns, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose.

Zachary draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. These methods guide short-term problem solving and longer work on values and identity. He notes experience helping first responders and people recovering from injury or other impactful events.

With six years of professional experience and an Ohio LPCC credential, he aims to help clients set clear, realistic goals. Work is collaborative: clients and therapist decide what to try and how to measure progress. He encourages honesty about setbacks so plans can be adjusted.

He welcomes international clients who are comfortable working in English. People who want to try therapy begin by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. The process is framed around practical steps and steady progress toward agreed goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based actions. It can aid those struggling with anxiety, low mood, and stuck patterns by clarifying what matters and using small steps toward it.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsive behavior through practical exercises and behavior changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. It supports people who need a steady, accepting space to talk through grief, identity questions, or relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as work progresses. Clients and therapist set goals together and check in on what is or isn’t helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and allow people to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
