About Zachariah
Zachariah Crooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues with addiction. He draws on a blend of therapeutic styles to support those seeking practical ways to feel steadier and more hopeful.
His tone is warm and straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling family and life's demands. He uses client-centered work to build a trusting relationship and help people feel heard.
Background and approach
He also brings existential ideas that encourage examination of meaning and life choices. Trained in hypnotherapy, he sometimes uses guided imagery and focused relaxation to access difficult memories or shift unhelpful patterns. Zachariah frames sessions around the person, not a checklist.
He listens for the root patterns behind problems like codependency, impulsivity, or trouble with commitment. Together with clients he sets clear, realistic goals and adjusts methods until they fit. Over his 15 years in practice he has worked with a wide range of concerns including family matters, parenting stress, grief, and identity questions.
He maintains his LMHC credential - IN LMHC 39002922A - and practices from Indiana. Sessions combine talk-based therapy with experiential techniques when useful. The aim is steady progress through practical steps, insight, and new habits that make daily life easier.
Approaches that fit into busy lives
Client-centered therapy is about being heard. It focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people can explore problems at their own pace and make decisions that feel right for them. This approach helps with anxiety, parenting stress, and feeling overwhelmed by life changes.Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, responsibility, and personal choice. It helps people who feel stuck, empty, or unsure about life direction to clarify values and make intentional changes. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access memories and patterns that are hard to reach in talk alone, which can help with habits, trauma-related reactions, and managing intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and comfort. That shared planning means therapy can shift over time as progress is made.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face to face from home, while phone sessions suit those who prefer voice-only contact. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins or paced communication when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life or a changing routine.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
