Jean Snyder, LPC

Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship and family challenges, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and the strain that comes with caregiving and chronic illness. Jean presents therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert in their life.

Jean brings two decades of clinical experience to sessions and a background in occupational therapy. That combination shapes her practical style. She uses conversational therapy along with purposeful tasks between sessions. Assignments might be short readings, thought exercises, or activities to notice patterns in daily life.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools people can use outside appointments. Progress is tracked by what changes feel useful to each person.

Jean emphasizes teamwork and steady steps rather than quick fixes. She listens for patterns in how a person thinks, acts, and copes, then suggests small experiments to try. The work often blends talking with real-life tasks to make insights practical.

People who reach out can expect direct, respectful feedback and guidance tailored to their aims. Jean frames therapy as problem-solving with space for feeling, reflection, and action.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jean combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people make observable changes. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals so therapy follows what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and use small exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice their experience without judgment. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing mood swings by teaching short skills to calm attention and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jean treats the choice of method as collaborative and adapts work to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try therapeutic exercises at home or between activities. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and frequency to match daily schedules and practical needs.
