About Zachariah
Zachariah Crooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 15 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and related issues such as grief, intimacy, and parenting challenges.
He uses a range of therapeutic ideas to address patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and noticing how past experiences shape present behavior. He also offers mindful practices and hypnotherapy techniques as part of sessions when appropriate.
Zachariah emphasizes practical steps clients can try between meetings. He helps identify small experiments to reduce avoidance, manage panic, and practice social interactions. He also addresses issues that often come with anxiety - sleep problems, shame, impulsivity, and feeling isolated.
In sessions Zachariah draws on Client-Centered and Existential approaches alongside mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools. That means conversations that center the client’s concerns, attention to meaning and choice, and brief guided exercises to support calm and focus.
He frames therapy as steady work over time. He tends to combine talk-based reflection with experiential practices and occasional guided imagery. People meet to clarify goals, learn coping skills, and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Practical matters such as session scheduling, format, and subscription-based payment are handled through the service booking process. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. It helps when someone wants a straightforward space to talk about social anxiety, stress, or relationship worries.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and the personal values that shape decisions. This approach can be useful for people wrestling with life purpose, commitment issues, or feelings of emptiness that often accompany anxiety.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to address patterns like panic responses, sleep disruption, or cravings related to addictions. In practice it is used as a tool alongside conversation and mindfulness work rather than as a standalone fix.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Zachariah will help clients decide together which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can involve trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They may also let clients try shorter check-ins or exercises that fit a break at work. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match scheduling, camera, or audio preferences.
