Amy Haake, LPCC

Amy Haake is an Ohio-based LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) who helps people bring emotional awareness into everyday life and rebuild balance when stress and burnout take over. With nine years of experience, she guides clients to recognize feelings that may have once felt overwhelming or unfamiliar and to transform those emotions into sources of strength and clearer action.

She often works with individuals facing burnout, career strain, and the spillover of work stress into relationships and family life, helping them develop sustainable outlets and practical strategies for managing energy and expectations. Amy emphasizes emotional acceptance and life-work balance as foundations for improved functioning and satisfaction across roles.

Amy’s counseling style is relaxed and conversational, aiming to make therapy feel approachable while also introducing new skills and processing strategies. She brings respect, sensitivity, and compassion to each session and avoids stigmatizing labels, using a blend of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s goals. Her experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, career challenges, and substance use concerns.

Amy encourages clients who are ready to grow and address their struggles to take the next step toward greater self-understanding and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them and then choose actions that align with personal values; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to mood and anxiety concerns, providing practical tools for managing symptoms and building coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and understanding to help clients explore their own solutions and build self-trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and often evolves over time. Amy works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to select or blend methods that feel like the best fit for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer written communication or need more frequent, brief check-ins. These options make it easier to access care from home or between responsibilities and to maintain continuity of support when schedules are busy.
