Amy Haake, LPCC

Amy Haake is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, burnout, career concerns, and substance use issues, and she also helps with relationship strain and parenting challenges. Amy works with people who feel overwhelmed by emotions and want more practical ways to handle day-to-day life.

Amy emphasizes emotional acceptance and managing life-work balance. She helps clients notice patterns that drain energy and try new responses. Sessions are conversational but structured, mixing skill practice with talking through what’s happening now.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused techniques, and client-centered work. That means clients can expect concrete tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts, regulating intense feelings, and changing behaviors that cause problems.

Amy often supports people facing career burnout and stress that spills into family life. She also addresses mood and anxiety symptoms, addiction concerns, attention difficulties, and emotional reactions after trauma. She frames these topics in simple, actionable steps rather than labels.

Sessions include skill-building for stress management, communication practice for relationship or parenting concerns, and strategies for handling impulses and cravings. Amy describes her style as relaxed and direct - like having a conversation while learning new skills. She asks practical questions and offers exercises clients can try between meetings.
