About Zachariah
Zachariah Crooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, grief, depression, and issues related to addiction and intimacy.
He keeps sessions direct and conversational. He listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. He helps people name what is happening, look at choices, and practice small changes that fit into everyday routines.
His approach draws on client-centered listening, existential questions about meaning, and mindfulness practices to calm intense moments. He may use hypnotherapy or Jungian ideas to help people access memories, images, or inner stories that feel stuck. These methods are used to help with symptoms like low mood, sleep disruption, compulsive behaviors, and impulsivity.
Many adults contact him about parenting strain, family problems, and conflicts that trace back to family of origin. He also works with people facing abandonment, codependency, commitment or control issues, and with men who want focused support around life roles.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and brief experiments between meetings. He encourages clear goals and periodic check-ins on progress. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy is based on careful listening and responding to what the person brings. It emphasizes understanding the client's experience and supporting their own choices, which can help with relationship tension, anxiety, and low mood. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, responsibility, and personal freedom; it can help when major life changes or feelings of emptiness make direction hard to find. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Zachariah will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying an exercise in session, comparing approaches, and adjusting as concerns change. The practical benefits of online sessions include greater flexibility to fit therapy into a busy week and fewer logistical barriers to attending a meeting. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and it can reduce travel time around parenting or work commitments.
