About Amy
Amy Haake helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood changes, or difficult life transitions. She supports those facing work burnout, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and struggles with addiction or self-esteem. Amy is an Ohio LPCC, and she presents as calm and conversational in sessions.
Amy keeps things straightforward. She aims to help people understand their emotions instead of pushing them away. That often means learning new skills for stress management, setting boundaries, and finding healthier outlets for difficult feelings.
How Amy works
Her style is laid back and conversational. Sessions are relaxed but focused on practical steps. Amy uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Many clients come to her when stress at work or in life feels like too much. She helps people sort priorities, tackle control issues, and rebuild energy after compassion fatigue or burnout. She also supports those dealing with panic, bipolar mood shifts, or depressive episodes.
Amy draws on methods that teach new thinking patterns, emotional skills, and values-based action. She works with issues such as communication problems, impulse control, gender dysphoria, grief, and addiction to drug or alcohol. Her goal is to help people move toward clearer purpose and steadier day-to-day functioning.
With nine years of clinical experience, Amy combines empathy with practical tools. She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. People who prefer a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation about feelings may find her approach welcome.

Online support options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Amy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will listen to a person's concerns and goals and then recommend a mix of techniques that fit their needs. Together they will try methods and adjust them over time so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible on a schedule that works. Video lets people see facial cues and work through emotions in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins, skills practice, and support between longer sessions. This range of formats helps people keep therapy going around work, parenting, and busy days.
