About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, bipolar mood swings, relationship concerns, and grief. Jean also helps with sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.
Jean treats the person, not just the problem. She sees clients as the experts on their lives and works together with them to set practical goals. Sessions commonly include conversational work plus short tasks to try between meetings. These might be a short reading, a thought-record exercise, or an activity to test a new behavior at work or home.
Her style draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches when they fit a client's goals. The mix depends on what each person wants to focus on and how they respond to different strategies.
Jean places particular focus on problems that build up over time, such as resentments, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or patterns like codependency and avoidant tendencies. She can help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new responses, and build better daily routines that reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Beginning work with Jean usually involves setting clear, manageable goals and planning small between-session steps. She asks clients to try practical actions and then reviews what worked. This keeps progress concrete and tied to everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions let Jean and the client talk through problems, set goals, and decide practical next steps together. This approach helps when someone needs to sort out what they want to change or needs support making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions Jean will guide thought records, behavior experiments, and brief homework tasks that fit day-to-day life. Mindfulness therapy adds simple grounding practices and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve attention during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how a person responds. She adjusts techniques as needed and reviews the results of between-session tasks to refine the plan.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use written exercises or guided practices without traveling. These practical benefits help keep therapeutic work connected to everyday routines and responsibilities.
