About Zachary
Zachary Havens, LPCC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or big life changes. He also supports clients dealing with trauma, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. He writes in straightforward language and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Zachary creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard things. Conversations center on clear goals and small, realistic steps toward them.
Background and approach
He listens first and tailors sessions to what each person needs in the moment. Over six years of practice in Ohio have shaped his approach. He blends everyday skills with evidence-informed methods to reduce distress and increase functioning.
He brings particular attention to issues that leave people feeling stuck or on autopilot. Zachary uses a mix of therapies to match a person’s needs. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and actions, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness to build awareness and calm.
He is also completing training in EMDR and can integrate it when appropriate. Sessions aim to make coping easier between meetings. Homework tends to be brief and practical so people can try new ways of responding in real life.
Zachary welcomes a collaborative working style and focuses on steady, measurable progress.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on building meaningful habits and accepting difficult thoughts so they have less power over behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then tries methods that match those needs. Sessions are collaborative, with adjustments made if a technique does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have longer, face-to-face style conversations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a phone call fits into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
