About Steven
Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and ADHD. He speaks English and works with people who live in Michigan.
He uses straightforward conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the client's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How Steven works
He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while offering practical steps forward. Steven blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral tools. That means he listens to the client's experience first, then helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
Together they test new ways of coping and build skills for daily life. He has worked with a range of concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues, including impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. He also supports people facing aging and geriatric challenges, multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and communication problems.
The approach aims to balance empathy with clear, doable strategies. Sessions may involve talk, structured exercises, and goal-setting. People who want a practical, respectful ally through change may find his style helpful.

How client-centered care and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they share, and helps them feel understood before recommending steps forward. It is useful for people who need acceptance and clarity about what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. Sessions include practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and impulsivity.
Steven will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches for each person. He talks through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then adjusts the plan together so it fits the client's life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when a visual conversation helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit counseling into busy days and different routines.
