About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, substance concerns, grief, and relationship struggles. Jean writes short tasks to try between sessions and keeps the work practical and focused.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and can make steady changes. Jean prefers a team approach. She sees the person in the room as the expert on their life and partners to set goals and try things that make daily life better.
Background and approach
Between visits she may suggest reading, simple exercises, or short activities to test new ways of responding. Those tasks are meant to help people notice what works and build confidence. Her practice draws on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered principles, and she also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and mindfulness skills when helpful.
That mix lets her address thoughts, behaviors, and the stories people tell about themselves. She adapts tools to fit each person’s goals and pace. Jean has helped people cope with chronic illness, caregiver stress, addiction, and trauma-related concerns.
She also supports work and career challenges, intimacy and communication issues, ADHD-related struggles, and aging or cancer-related stress. Her background includes long-term experience across these areas. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Jean works from Michigan and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online session options
How Jean’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Jean uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about their lives and try new ways of describing themselves and their choices. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when people want concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as sleep problems, anxiety, or addictive patterns.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Jean will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be a shorter check-in between visits or an option for people who express themselves better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related routines.
