About Haven

Haven Ohly is an Ohio-licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions. He brings a trauma-informed lens to therapy and emphasizes building emotional resilience while honoring each person's background and values.

Background and approach

His work blends compassionate listening with practical tools so clients can better manage mood, relationships, and day-to-day challenges. He draws on professional leadership in substance use disorder treatment and lived experience in recovery to inform a grounded, nonjudgmental style.

That background supports clients facing grief, family and attachment concerns, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and issues such as body image, caregiving stress, and codependency. Haven also incorporates spirituality when clients wish to explore faith as part of healing.

Sessions focus on collaboration: identifying goals, learning coping strategies, and processing painful memories when appropriate. He offers flexible online options and works with people nationally, applying therapies like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, existential, and client-centered approaches in service of clearer insight and meaningful change.

Approaches and Online Care

Haven commonly uses EMDR to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact; that method focuses on guided reprocessing of distressing experiences to support healing. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. Additionally, client-centered techniques provide a compassionate, person-focused space that emphasizes listening and mutual respect.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each client to explore goals, symptoms, and preferences and then shapes a plan that may combine methods over time. This collaborative stance helps ensure the therapeutic path fits the individual's needs rather than applying a single method in isolation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with varied schedules and locations. These formats allow continuity of care when travel, work, or other commitments make in-person visits difficult, while still supporting the structured and experiential work used in EMDR, CBT, and client-centered sessions.
