About Haven

Haven Ohly is a licensed independent social worker with 20 years of clinical experience based in Ohio. He helps people who are struggling with sleep problems alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief, and relationship challenges. He aims to offer steady support and practical steps so people can sleep better and feel more in control of their day-to-day life.

Haven uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small changes that add up. He balances a compassionate, accepting presence with structured strategies that address habits, thoughts, and behaviors that affect sleep and wellbeing.

He brings experience from working as a clinical director at a substance use disorder treatment center. That background informs how he thinks about recovery, relapse prevention, and the routines that support healthy sleep. He also draws on his own lived experience in recovery when it helps build connection and trust in therapy.

Haven routinely addresses problems such as insomnia, night-time anxiety, and sleep disruption tied to trauma, grief, pain, or caregiving stress. He also helps with broader life concerns that interfere with rest, like career strain, parenting demands, and major life changes.

Sessions can include mindfulness practices, cognitive strategies, and trauma-focused work when appropriate. He welcomes conversations about spirituality when clients want that included. To begin, people are invited to describe their main sleep concerns and daily routines so sessions can be tailored to real-life schedules and goals.

Therapeutic approaches that support better sleep and wellbeing

Haven uses client-centered work that begins with the person rather than a checklist; this approach focuses on what the client wants to change and prioritizes the issues that interfere with rest. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and daytime habits that keep someone awake and teaches skills for sleep scheduling and worry management. He also draws on mindfulness practices to help reduce arousal and bring attention back from anxious thoughts toward steady breathing and bodily awareness.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to the client's goals, try techniques, and adapt the plan based on what helps. That means the first sessions are often about mapping sleep patterns, testing strategies, and deciding together whether to emphasize skills work, trauma-focused interventions, or spiritual concerns when relevant.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins between work shifts, sessions that avoid travel, or options that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can guide practical next steps to improve sleep and daily routines while working within each client's schedule.
