About Zachary
Zachary Havens helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and problems with self-esteem. He offers direct, practical support for coping with life changes, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and issues with sleep or eating. Zachary practices in Ohio and brings six years of clinical experience to his work.
He aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental so people can talk plainly about what’s on their mind. He focuses on small, doable steps that move someone toward a goal they agree on.
Background and approach
Sessions use everyday language and focus on skills that can be tried between meetings. Zachary draws on several approaches to fit what each person needs. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build alternative patterns.
He also uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people tolerate difficult feelings while staying connected to what matters most. He has experience helping people who feel stuck after trauma or life disruption and supports those managing burnout, caregiver stress, or work-related strain.
First responder experiences, issues around fatherhood, and body image concerns are also areas he commonly addresses. Zachary holds an LPCC, which is the credential listed for his Ohio practice. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for remote work.
To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match people with his practice.
How Zachary brings ACT, CBT, and client-centered work online
The therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.
Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the person's priorities and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people clarify their goals so change feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is something to figure out together. Zachary will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels helpful. The work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or ongoing written conversation between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel.
