Amy Haake, LPCC

Amy Haake is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, career strain, addiction, relationship challenges, and midlife concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical changes that reduce overwhelm. Amy aims to help clients reconnect with emotions so those feelings become useful rather than intimidating.

Her work centers on emotional acceptance, life-work balance, and stress management. Many people come to her when they feel burned out at work and notice that stress is affecting their home life. She helps people find healthier outlets, clearer priorities, and ways to use energy more efficiently so daily life feels more satisfying.

Amy keeps sessions relaxed and conversational while teaching skills and processing stressful experiences. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels. Her style combines several approaches so conversations and exercises are tailored to each person’s needs.

Over nine years she has supported people with depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, career transitions, substance use concerns, and trauma-related issues. That range informs how she blends methods to address whatever is most pressing for an individual.

If someone is ready to make changes, Amy works collaboratively to set clear goals and build steps that fit real life. She encourages practical strategies that can be used between sessions as part of ongoing growth.

Approaches that guide online work and goal setting

Amy blends approaches that teach skills, support emotion work, and help shift unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, life transitions, and finding meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and replaces them with clearer, more helpful strategies; it is often used for mood and panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to process feelings and make choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss how these methods fit a person’s needs and preferences and will collaborate on a plan that matches goals and daily life. That collaboration helps decide which techniques to try and when to adjust the focus.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows skills practice and reflections between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
