About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, mood swings, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, and ADHD. She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness, and other life transitions.
Her style is practical and task-focused. Sessions are collaborative - the person in therapy is treated as the expert on their life. Jean often suggests short assignments to try between meetings, such as readings, reflection exercises, or behavioral tasks that relate directly to the client’s goals.
Jean integrates talk work with activities that connect to everyday life. She uses approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps rather than a single fixed plan.
People come to her for help with depression, bipolar mood changes, substance concerns, anger, intimacy issues, and the emotional strain of caregiving or chronic health problems. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, codependency, communication breakdowns, divorce or separation, and trauma related issues.
Her practice favors clear, straightforward collaboration. Early sessions focus on clarifying goals and choosing manageable actions. Over time those actions are reviewed and adapted as needed to reflect what is working and what is not.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs straightforward support to sort out feelings and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and tests small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.
Mindfulness work encourages simple awareness exercises and brief practices to reduce reactivity and improve attention. This can be useful for anger, stress, and attention-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
The practical benefits of meeting with a therapist online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. The original profile did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to follow through on homework between meetings.
