About Amy
Amy Haake is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, career strain, and addiction concerns. She focuses on helping clients understand their emotions and use those feelings as a guide rather than something to avoid. She often works with people facing burnout at work and the ripple effects that creates at home.
Sessions focus on practical strategies for balance, better outlets for strong feelings, and clearer priorities.
Background and approach
The aim is to free up energy for things that matter most. Amy’s style is relaxed and conversational. She aims for sessions that feel like a talk while also building skills and processing stress.
Respect and compassion guide the work, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Her approach blends several well-known methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-oriented practices to fit each person’s needs. Over nine years she has helped people with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, career transitions, and substance use problems.
People can expect straightforward tools and emotional support that relate to daily life. Amy encourages small, achievable changes and practices that build resilience over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward their values. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where avoidance has become a habit.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for mood, panic, and some impulse-related concerns, and it pairs well with skills practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. She adapts techniques over time based on what is working and what is not.
Online therapy with her can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work through material face to face. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick coaching, homework review, or when a written check-in is easier to manage. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady progress.
