Amy Haake

Amy Haake is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and career burnout. She focuses on emotional acceptance so feelings stop getting in the way of daily life. Her approach aims to help clients find practical outlets and rebuild functioning across work and home.

Amy’s style is relaxed and conversational. Sessions often feel like a guided talk where new skills are practiced alongside processing stressful events. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

In practice she supports people facing depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, substance use concerns, and mood or attention differences. She also works with issues related to LGBTQ identity and gender dysphoria. These topics are woven into therapy with an aim toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

Therapeutic work typically targets life-work balance, coping with change, and managing strong emotions so clients can act on their goals. Amy uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person rather than a single fixed method. She helps people try concrete techniques and then adapts what’s useful.

Amy has nine years of clinical experience. She encourages clients to take small, steady steps and to experiment with new ways of handling stress and impulse. If someone wants to explore getting calmer and more effective in daily life, she invites them to begin that work together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her approach. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different responses to reduce distress and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Amy will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. She aims to collaborate so the approach fits the person's needs and preferences rather than imposing one technique.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or opt for options that do not require video if bandwidth or camera time is a concern. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work well in remote sessions, including skill practice, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning.
