About Haven
Haven Ohly is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and big life changes.

Background and approach
Sessions tend to be both supportive and structured so clients leave with clear next steps. His background includes clinical leadership in substance use disorder treatment and personal experience in recovery, which inform his understanding of addiction and long-term change. He draws on that perspective without judgment and keeps a focus on present goals and daily functioning.
People who prefer a collaborative, values-focused approach often find his style helpful. He welcomes discussions that bring spirituality or faith into the work when that matters to the person. Common practical goals include improving sleep, managing anger, rebuilding trust, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Haven commonly integrates Existential Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his online practice. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and values, helping people clarify what matters to them and how to move toward it. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance so the person leads the pace and topics of the work.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with change. Together these approaches give room for personal meaning work while also offering tools for day-to-day improvement. He will collaborate with each person to find which mix feels like the best fit for their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect and reply on their own schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle caregiving duties, or continue care while traveling.
