About Zachariah
Zachariah Crooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on anger as well as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, addictions, and other life challenges. Zachariah uses a mix of talk-based and experiential methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Zachariah focuses on identifying repeating behaviors that keep problems going. He helps people name what is happening when they get reactive and then practices alternatives in session. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to feelings, bodily responses, and meaning behind reactions.
Several approaches guide his work, including client-centered listening, existential questions about purpose and choice, and techniques drawn from hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas about symbols and personal stories. He also uses mindfulness practices to help slow down and observe impulses rather than act on them immediately.
Sessions aim to build clearer awareness of triggers and to rehearse different responses. He talks through patterns like codependency, control issues, impulsivity, and abandonment fears, and he addresses related problems such as sleep, eating, and substance use. The emphasis is on practical steps that can be tried between sessions.
People who connect with this style should expect an investigative yet straightforward approach. Zachariah draws on many perspectives to find what helps each person move forward. He works in English and practices in Indiana.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Zachariah draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflection; this approach helps people clarify what they want to change and develop practical steps. Existential therapy is used to look at meaning, choice, and responsibility when people feel stuck or reactive. Hypnotherapy techniques are applied in short guided exercises to calm the nervous system and rehearse new responses to triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zachariah collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying different techniques and checking what feels useful over several sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a break at work, remove commute time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Talk with him about practical scheduling and which therapeutic methods to use so sessions fit into everyday life.
