About Zachariah
Zachariah Cooney is a California LMFT with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people who report stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and difficulty coping with life changes. He also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.
He uses plain conversation to identify what matters to each person. Sessions focus on understanding current struggles and on practical ways to manage them day to day. Zachariah adapts how he talks and plans work based on what the client prefers.
His approach draws on client-centered practice, narrative ideas, and psychodynamic thinking. That means he listens for how personal stories and past patterns shape current reactions. Together with the client he looks for moments where small changes can reduce panic, curb impulsive behavior, or ease alcohol and drug-related difficulties.
People meeting him can expect straightforward goal-setting and steady review of what helps. He pays attention to self-worth, motivation, and the stresses that make social situations feel threatening. Work may include talking through fears around being watched, public speaking, or meeting new people.
Zachariah supports international clients and runs sessions through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Zachariah uses client-centered work to prioritize what the client notices and wants to change. That approach means sessions often begin by asking what matters most today and adapting the session to the client's pace and preferences.Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Online sessions can review those stories, identify unhelpful plots, and rehearse alternative ways of talking about fears, relationships, or addictive patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas help identify patterns that repeat across situations. In practice this involves noticing recurring reactions to stress or social situations and tracing how past experiences may influence them now.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is observed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer conversations to address panic, addiction, or trauma-related material. Discussing format and scheduling early helps make sessions practical for everyday life.
