About Zachary
Zachary Havens, LPCC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. He offers a direct, calm presence and focuses on practical steps parents can take to reduce overwhelm and build strategies that fit daily life. He uses straightforward conversation to map out where clients feel stuck.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Zachary draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. He also uses acceptance and mindfulness-based techniques to help people respond to difficult emotions with more flexibility. His work with trauma incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods when appropriate as part of a broader plan.
Over six years of clinical work in Ohio have shaped his practical style. He often helps people when life transitions cause stress, when parenting responsibilities feel overwhelming, or when grief and loss affect daily functioning. He pays attention to how roles like caregiving or fatherhood influence mood and behavior.
Sessions move at a pace set by the client and aim for clear, measurable steps between meetings. Zachary supports clients who want coaching-style guidance as well as people seeking deeper therapeutic change. He welcomes conversations about goals, values, and what success looks like for each person.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and replaces those habits with more helpful actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories as part of a larger treatment plan.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and past experience to decide which methods to try. Plans can combine ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused work as needed and are adjusted over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and fit a walk or short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily routines.
