Jean Snyder, LPC

Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, mood swings, and substance use concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, caregiver burnout, chronic health challenges, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with sleep, self-esteem, or attention. Jean writes short assignments between sessions to help people practice new skills and test out changes in their daily life.

Jean brings about 20 years of counseling experience to her work and emphasizes a team approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them set clear, workable goals. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with homework that might include reading, reflection exercises, or behavioral tasks chosen to match the client’s aims.

Her style centers on listening closely and responding in ways that are tailored to what the client needs right now. She blends talking therapy with exercises that target thoughts, behaviors, and everyday routines. That combination is meant to help people make steady progress between appointments.

Jean uses tools from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy to shape sessions. She explains options and works with clients to pick approaches that fit their personality and goals. Her work often focuses on restoring daily function and helping people regain a sense of control.

Based in Michigan, Jean offers counseling in English and draws on two decades of experience helping people navigate life changes, health-related stress, and the aftermath of trauma. She aims to make starting therapy easier by offering clear steps and supportive guidance.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on understanding a person’s priorities and adapting conversations to what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. In online sessions CBT can include structured conversations, brief exercises, and homework assignments that help people test new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. These skills can be practiced during the week and then reviewed together to notice what changed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client’s goals, preferences, and current needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady progress with between-session assignments and exercises that translate into everyday routines.
