He integrates EMDR when appropriate to address trauma-related symptoms and uses cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques to manage anxiety and mood. He also offers space to discuss spiritual or faith-based concerns when clients want that included.
Haven has worked as a Clinical Director at a substance use disorder treatment center, where he supported people navigating recovery and the logistical challenges that come with it. That role informs how he organizes treatment plans and supports behavior change. He is experienced helping people manage grief, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, and life transitions such as divorce or caregiving changes.
People looking for help with communication problems, codependency, abandonment or attachment issues will find a therapist who combines practical strategies with trauma-focused approaches. He pays attention to how past hurts affect current relationships and day-to-day functioning. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.
Haven works in English and accepts international clients. He practices in Ohio as an LISW and draws on two decades of clinical work when supporting adults through family and parenting challenges.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the pace and topics of sessions. It helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and exploring values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues.EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with processing distressing memories and the beliefs that keep those memories active. It is used when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions. Haven integrates these approaches so that sessions mix practical skill work with trauma processing when needed, and he will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and tolerance for more intensive work.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people find that remote sessions let them continue care while managing work, parenting, or recovery commitments. Licensed professionals can adjust activities so exercises and EMDR-informed work translate to an online setting when appropriate.
