About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who draws on two decades of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and career or life transition challenges.
Background and approach
She approaches therapy with an emphasis on practical, collaborative work that helps clients identify goals and take concrete steps toward them. Jean often uses structured exercises and between-session tasks to encourage reflection and real-world practice of new skills.
Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed perspectives to address unhelpful thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing and narrative approaches also inform her work, helping clients explore values, motivation for change, and the stories they tell about themselves.
Jean frames the therapeutic relationship as a team effort in which the client’s experience and priorities guide the process. She maintains a focus on coping with life changes, managing compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, and supporting those navigating chronic illness, grief, or substance-related concerns.
As an LPC with 20 years of practice in Michigan, she offers a professional, grounded approach that emphasizes both understanding and actionable steps toward change.
How Jean’s Approaches Work Online
Jean often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits by teaching practical coping skills and behavioral experiments. Client-Centered Therapy also informs her work by emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and stress-management tools that support emotional regulation and attention to bodily cues.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexible access to these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and to practice the skills and between-session assignments in everyday environments for real-world application.
