About Amy
Amy Haake is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, career strain, and challenges related to addiction and identity. She often supports clients facing burnout and those coping with big life changes. Amy brings a relaxed, conversational style to sessions so people feel heard while learning practical skills.
She focuses on emotional acceptance and building life-work balance. Sessions aim to identify stress patterns and find outlets that free up energy for things that matter. Amy encourages clients to use emotions as a source of strength rather than something to push away.
Amy mixes approaches such as acceptance-based work, cognitive and emotion-focused tools, and skill-based strategies. This gives flexibility to match a person's needs instead of relying on any single method. The work can include learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and trying different ways to respond to difficult feelings.
Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are meant to feel like normal talk while also moving toward goals. People who come for help with relationships, parenting struggles, mood concerns, or substance use will find practical, down-to-earth support.
Amy has nine years of clinical experience and holds an Ohio LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor. She practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people can follow the site process to match and schedule with her.
How her methods translate to online work
Amy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing and making room for difficult feelings while identifying what matters most and taking action toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. That teamwork helps shape session pacing, the skills practiced, and the homework between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They also let people try techniques like mindfulness practice and behavioral experiments in the settings where daily life happens. Licensed professionals can help adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work well in remote sessions and tailor the plan to individual needs.
