About Zachariah
Zachariah Crooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, addiction, grief, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports issues such as ADHD, career shifts, parenting strain, and struggles with purpose and isolation. His way of working aims to help clients feel steadier and more connected to their goals.
He uses conversational, person-focused sessions that center on what each client brings. Sessions often look like guided talk, reflective exercises, and practical strategies to handle day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
He also draws on mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools when those fit a person’s needs. With about 15 years of experience in mental health, Zachariah adapts methods to match what someone prefers and what their situation needs. He blends depth-oriented work with more immediate coping skills so people see both short-term relief and longer change.
He frames progress as gradual and collaborative. Clients commonly work on patterns that cause repeated hurt, such as abandonment, codependency, impulsivity, or control issues. He also helps people dealing with trauma, substance concerns, and emotional numbness.
Sessions focus on practical next steps, meaning-making, and ways to interrupt harmful patterns. He practices in Indiana and meets with people in English. Online formats include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions emphasize listening, reflecting what matters, and helping clients identify their own next steps. This approach can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making life decisions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, body sensations, and emotions without getting overwhelmed. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and learning to respond instead of react.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access inner resources and shift unhelpful habits or beliefs. It can be applied to anxiety, certain addictions, sleep issues, and changing behaviors that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and pace. That means trying different tools and adjusting the plan together as needed.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets a person use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be a simpler call when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day. These options help people access care from home or while traveling and make scheduling easier for varied lifestyles.
