About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, and changes in career or life circumstances. She brings twenty years of counseling experience to sessions and approaches work as a team effort.
Clients are treated as the experts in their own lives while she helps guide the process.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical homework such as brief exercises, readings, or tasks to try between meetings. Jean combines talk-based work with activity-focused steps. Many meetings focus on understanding patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills in everyday situations.
She uses tools that target thoughts and behaviors alongside approaches that invite reflection on personal stories and values. Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. Those methods are chosen to match each person’s goals and situation rather than applied the same way for everyone.
Jean has experience helping people facing chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, bipolar mood swings, codependency, and substance use concerns. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, with clear goals and practical steps people can try between sessions. Jean works with adults from Michigan and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different needs and schedules.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive working relationship. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name goals, and collaborates on practical steps to reach them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, anger, and chronic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what she uses based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to tailor techniques to your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between calls or fit therapy into a busy day. These formats can make it simpler to maintain regular work on goals and try homework between sessions.
