Zachary Havens, LPCC

Zachary Havens, LPCC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes find clearer direction and practical coping skills. He creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels stuck and begin to move toward agreed goals. He practices in Ohio and communicates in English.

Zachary focuses on reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life. He uses talk-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes. Sessions are aimed at building skills for managing mood, motivation, and relationships.

He brings six years of professional experience to sessions and has worked with people affected by trauma, work stress, injury recovery, and mood disturbances. He emphasizes collaboration, asking questions about what matters most to each person and setting clear goals together.

Zachary uses a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening. He is completing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, and may integrate elements of it as appropriate.

People meet him for help with issues like grief, addiction, body image, parenting stress, and finding purpose. He frames therapy as practical problem-solving paired with steady support, helping people build momentum toward the life they want.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Zachary commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept hard thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction during life changes.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to test and adjust as therapy progresses.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Once session options are confirmed, the focus remains on practical skill-building, tracking progress, and adapting tools to everyday life.
