Amy Haake, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Amy

Amy Haake is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, addiction, and mood concerns. She speaks plain language and focuses on helping clients understand and accept their emotions so those feelings stop getting in the way of daily life.

Amy keeps sessions conversational and practical, aiming for tools that fit into busy routines rather than long lectures or rigid plans.

Background and approach

Amy often works with people dealing with burnout and work-life balance problems that spill into family life and parenting. She helps identify outlets for stress, builds simple routines, and teaches skills to manage overwhelming moments. Therapy mixes short-term coping skills with attention to long-term patterns that undermine wellbeing.

Her style is calm and nonjudgmental. Amy uses a blend of approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person’s needs. She values respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative pace that feels comfortable to the client.

Across nine years of practice she has supported people with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and substance use concerns. Her toolbox includes practical strategies for mood regulation, communication, and problem solving. Amy encourages clients who want to make steady, realistic changes in day-to-day life.

Parents and caregivers looking for guidance around family dynamics and parenting difficulties will find a focus on actionable steps and emotional awareness. Amy invites curiosity and steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she works with each person to build skills that last.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Amy commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and then take steps that match their values. ACT focuses on accepting uncomfortable feelings and committing to meaningful action, which helps with stress, anxiety, and life changes. CBT teaches specific skills to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical strategies for mood and behavior management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what works best. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays useful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and practice skills in the moments they are needed. Licensed professionals can deliver the same goal-focused work online while adapting exercises for the virtual format, making consistent progress easier for people balancing family and work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
