Jean Snyder, LPC

Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance concerns, or career and relationship strain. Jean also supports those facing grief, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and aging and geriatric issues.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Jean treats each person as the expert in their life and works as a teammate to set clear goals. Sessions are practical and often include short assignments between visits, such as readings, reflection exercises, or activities that encourage new habits.

Jean draws from talk-based methods like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. She mixes these methods to match what a person wants to change or understand, focusing on small, achievable steps.

She brings a practical focus to problems like stress, addiction, sleep trouble, intimacy issues, ADHD, and coping with loss or life transitions. Jean pays attention to how everyday routines and purposeful activity affect mood and coping, and she will suggest tasks to try between sessions.

Jean works from Michigan and carries a long history of helping people make steady progress toward clearer choices and better daily functioning. If someone wants a straightforward, action-oriented therapist who listens first, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to map out priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match those goals. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how to structure sessions for real-life changes.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuity of care when dealing with chronic health issues, caregiving responsibilities, or when someone needs flexible timing. Jean will help adjust the plan so therapy fits into everyday life and keeps moving toward the client's goals.
