About Steven

Steven Baruch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a respectful and compassionate approach.

Background and approach

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and employs client-centered methods to create a supportive space where each person’s priorities shape the work.

With four years of clinical experience, he has worked with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD, among other related issues. He emphasizes collaboration and tailors conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals.

Steven aims to meet people where they are, offering a nonjudgmental and sensitive stance while helping them explore practical strategies for change. He recognizes that taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and he focuses on empowering clients as they pursue clearer direction and greater emotional balance.

Sessions are offered to clients who reside in Michigan and conducted in English, and his practice is oriented toward building a steady therapeutic alliance while addressing both immediate symptoms and longer-term personal goals.

CBT and Client-Centered Care Delivered Online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for problems like anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns by teaching practical coping skills and behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so that the client’s experiences and goals guide the pace and direction of work; this approach supports self-exploration and personal empowerment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may include blending techniques from both approaches to match what each person finds most useful as they make progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets clients engage in counseling from locations within Michigan. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and adapt sessions to different life demands while working toward meaningful change.
