About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and codependency concerns. She speaks plainly and works in partnership with each person. Jean emphasizes practical steps and everyday activities alongside talking. She often gives short assignments between sessions to keep progress moving.
Jean brings two decades of counseling experience and a background in occupational therapy to her work. That combination leads her to include purposeful activities as part of therapy. These might be readings, short exercises, or tasks that encourage noticing thoughts and feelings. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s goals guide what comes next.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when helpful. These methods help with mood swings, addiction concerns, grieving, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and relationship challenges.
Jean is used to helping people manage day-to-day problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, anger, and career strain. She also addresses trauma, intimacy-related questions, and issues tied to serious illness or aging. Her style is direct but compassionate, focused on practical steps clients can take between sessions.
People who reach out can expect a team approach where their choices matter. Jean encourages small, concrete actions and checks progress regularly. She aims to help people make clearer decisions and move toward better functioning in daily life.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps them set goals, and provides supportive feedback that helps them make choices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and codependency issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood. It uses clear exercises and practice to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, sleep problems, and addiction-related behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy adds attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Simple breathing and noticing exercises are used to help manage stress and emotional ups and downs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. This makes it easier to try tools that feel useful and drop those that do not fit.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy through periods of life change while still focusing on concrete steps and between-session activities.
