About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in Michigan. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, mood swings, grief, relationship concerns, and issues connected to trauma and abuse. She also addresses problems like sleep difficulty, low self-esteem, caregiver stress, and attention differences such as ADHD.
Jean focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. She treats clients as collaborators and often suggests short assignments. These might include a brief reading, a written reflection, or an exercise to notice patterns in thoughts and behavior. The goal is to link what happens in sessions with everyday life.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods along with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative methods when they fit the work. In simple terms, that means conversations aim to clarify goals, test unhelpful thinking, and build small, doable changes over time.
Jean also brings experience working with long-term health concerns, caregiver burnout, and the practical impacts of chronic pain or illness. She listens for how symptoms affect daily routines and helps people plan manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. She will work with each person to set realistic, measurable goals.
People who contact Jean can expect straightforward, task-oriented sessions and clear suggestions for action. She emphasizes teamwork and respects that the client knows their life best. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the client's goals and perspective, with the therapist listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This helps when figuring out priorities like reducing social avoidance or managing stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice thoughts and sensations without getting caught up in them. Those skills can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they pick or combine approaches to fit the issues at hand and the client's pace.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
