He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns, as well as a wide range of life adjustments including relationship and family issues, addictions, grief, and career challenges.

Havens emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where individuals can share thoughts and emotions and work toward agreed-upon goals. His approach centers on building a clearer sense of self, expanding coping strategies, and promoting steady growth across areas such as intimacy, parenting, sleep and eating concerns, and managing mood disturbances. He is trained in multiple evidence-informed methods and is currently completing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - to further support people coping with trauma and related distress.

Not currently accepting new clients, he remains committed to thoughtful, client-centered care and to helping people explore meaningful change when the opportunity to work together arises.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Zachary Havens

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building behaviors that align with what matters most, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for change. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges.

Havens is also completing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - which is a trauma-focused approach that aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms. He integrates these methods to match each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Zachary works collaboratively with clients to choose or adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and responses to treatment, adjusting plans as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-focused therapy tailored to each client’s circumstances.
