Zachary Havens

Zachary Havens, LPCC, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and eating and food-related issues. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s bothering them. He encourages small steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

He draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to break unhelpful patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients notice their values and take action toward them. His approach is conversational and goal-focused rather than lecturing.

Zachary has six years of professional experience and practices in Ohio. He reports helping people who feel stuck after life traumas and stressful events. He also notes work with first responders, athletes, and those facing injury recovery or work-related pressures.

Sessions aim to expand a person’s understanding of themselves and move toward agreed-upon goals. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets priorities and he offers tools and perspective. Progress is tracked in ways that matter to the client, like improved mood, clearer routines, or healthier habits around food and sleep.

People who choose Zachary can expect straightforward talk, practical exercises, and gentle challenges to old habits. He welcomes international clients and works in English. To begin, readers are encouraged to complete the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a visit.

How specific approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce the power of painful thoughts and increase committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers tools to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits that improve mood, sleep, and eating patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories; it is often used when trauma symptoms are a main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. They will suggest methods to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most, keeping the process collaborative throughout.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available formats before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and trauma-focused work to an online setting, using exercises, guided practice, and discussions to help with anxiety, eating concerns, sleep, and life transitions.
