About Amy

Amy Haake is an LPCC based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, trauma, mood disorders, and substance use concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on building emotional awareness and acceptance so feelings become a guide rather than an obstacle, supporting clients through career pressures, life transitions, parenting challenges, and recovery from addiction. Amy emphasizes skill-building around stress management, work-life balance, and healthier coping strategies to reduce the ways overwhelm spills into daily life.

Her manner is approachable and conversational while remaining practical and goal-oriented. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques to tailor work to each person’s needs.

After nine years of experience she aims to create a nonjudgmental space that respects individual identity and encourages exploration of values, communication patterns, and emotional regulation. Amy invites clients to discover strengths in their emotional experience and to develop tools that support greater satisfaction across relationships, career, and personal wellbeing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Online sessions with Amy draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete coping skills for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while helping clients commit to actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for life transitions, burnout, and persistent avoidance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; Amy aims to collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines structured skill work with a client-centered stance so treatment plans evolve from the client’s needs rather than a fixed protocol.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across daily life demands. These options let clients practice skills between meetings, maintain continuity during busy periods, and fit therapy into work and family routines while working with licensed professionals.
