Amy Haake

Amy Haake is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, burnout, and life changes, and she works with people facing mood disorders, addiction, and parenting or career strain. Amy helps clients who feel disconnected from their emotions and want clearer ways to respond day to day.

She emphasizes emotional acceptance and practical stress management. Sessions often look like a relaxed conversation where the therapist and client build new skills together. Amy draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide that work.

Amy commonly sees people dealing with depression, panic, post-traumatic stress, impulse control, and problems with anger or self-esteem. She also supports those struggling with substance use, compulsive behaviors, and difficulties around money or work-life balance. Gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and forgiveness or guilt themes are among the topics she addresses.

In sessions she helps clients notice emotional patterns, name feelings, and practice new responses. That can mean trying mindfulness skills, reframing thought patterns, or learning strategies to manage intense emotions. The aim is clearer thinking, fewer overwhelming reactions, and better everyday functioning.

Amy encourages straightforward, nonjudgmental conversation and avoids stigmatizing labels. People can expect practical suggestions and steady guidance as they practice new ways of coping and communicating.
