    About Amy

    Amy Haake is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, and addiction. She welcomes conversations about career strain, parenting challenges, relationship problems, and concerns related to gender and LGBT identity. Amy emphasizes making emotions easier to understand so people can function better day to day.

    Her approach is relaxed and conversational. Sessions aim to feel like a calm, practical talk while also teaching skills for managing stress and mood. She encourages emotional acceptance and looks for ways to rebalance work and life when career pressure is affecting other areas.

    Amy uses a mix of methods to meet each person where they are. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action, and practical strategies from cognitive and mindfulness-based methods. Dialectical and client-centered ideas also shape how she listens and responds.

    With about nine years of experience, Amy has worked with people dealing with substance use, trauma, panic, mood disorders, and life transitions. She aims to find healthy outlets and clear steps so daily energy is spent more effectively and satisfaction grows across life areas.

    Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. She invites people who are ready to take steps toward change to begin a collaborative process of learning and growth.

  2. How these approaches shape online work

    Amy uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore their desire for change and resolve mixed feelings in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. This approach can be useful for making decisions or addressing addictive behaviors.

    She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with personal values. ACT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and rebuilding meaning after big life changes.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and then recommend strategies from these and other methods to fit the situation. This is a collaborative process that adjusts over time as needs change.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce commuting time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and Motivational Interviewing techniques to an online setting so conversations and skill practice remain practical and goal-focused.
