About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, bipolar mood shifts, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She keeps language simple and practical, and she invites clients to take an active role in their progress.
Sessions often include short tasks to try between meetings so people can test changes in daily life. With 20 years in counseling plus previous occupational therapy experience, she blends talk therapy with hands-on activities.
How Jean works
She uses approaches that focus on a person’s own goals and strengths. Homework might be reading, a short exercise, or a simple activity to notice thoughts and feelings in real situations. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and offers guidance to help people choose steps that feel doable. Conversations are practical and aimed at everyday improvements rather than abstract theory.
Jean works with a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, career stress, sleep problems, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and substance misuse. She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, commitment, communication, and recovery from domestic violence or abuse.
People who prefer a structured plan will find her approach useful, as will those who want to try small, clear tasks between sessions. Her aim is to help clients build coping skills and make steady, realistic changes that fit their daily routines.

How Jean's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes each person's goals and choices. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people identify what matters to them. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them through simple exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by teaching practical skills to test and shift thinking patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, worry, and improving sleep by teaching short awareness practices that can be used anytime.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different techniques. Plans can be adjusted as progress unfolds so sessions remain relevant and useful.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let therapists and clients see each other for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to touch base between meetings or to get support without using a camera. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent amid day-to-day demands.
