Jean Snyder, LPC

Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, bipolar mood issues, grief, and relationship or career difficulties. Jean also addresses sleep problems, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and trauma and abuse concerns.

Jean emphasizes a collaborative working style. She treats the person in the room as the expert on their life and uses short practical tasks between sessions to test ideas. Those assignments might be a reading, a brief exercise to notice thoughts and feelings, or a real-world task to try a new behavior. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps toward those goals.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people consider change and narrative therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. These methods are used to help with anger, addiction, mood swings, grief, and coping during major life changes.

Jean has a history of working in settings that connect talk therapy with purposeful activity. That experience shows up in how she structures work between sessions and in her practical focus on daily life. She encourages measurable progress rather than vague promises.

People who value straightforward feedback and concrete tasks often find this style helpful. To get started she asks people to pick goals and try steps outside of sessions, then review what worked and adjust the plan together.
