About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, mood swings, and grief. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disasters. She emphasizes a team approach where the client is viewed as the expert in their own life.
Her style is straightforward and activity-focused. She values talking through feelings in a non-judgmental way and often assigns brief tasks between sessions. These might include short readings, reflection exercises, or practical tasks meant to clarify thoughts and test new behaviors. The aim is to connect what happens in sessions to everyday life.
Jean draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques to build a trusting relationship, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness to increase awareness, motivational interviewing to clarify readiness for change, and narrative methods to reframe personal stories. These are used in simple, practical ways rather than as labels.
With 20 years as an LPC, she brings long-term clinical experience to common concerns like addiction, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and bereavement. People who choose her work with a mix of talk, concrete activities, and homework to move toward clearer goals.
Jean welcomes conversations about goals and next steps. Prospective clients can learn how her practical, collaborative approach might fit their situation before deciding to schedule sessions.
How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship. It helps people feel heard and decide what goals matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses straightforward exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life demands, and then suggest which techniques to try first. Over time the plan can shift based on what feels useful and what changes the client wants to see.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and support doing homework between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT worksheets during remote sessions so people can apply new skills in daily life.
