About Jean
Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful, and treats each person as the expert in their own life.
Her approach blends talking with hands-on tasks between sessions. Clients may get short exercises, readings, or small activities to try at home. These tasks are chosen to match the goals discussed in sessions and to build new routines over time.
Background and approach
Jean helps with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood swings, substance use, sleep problems, grief, self-esteem, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, trauma and abuse, and career challenges. She pays attention to how daily routines affect emotions and coping.
In sessions she listens without judgment and works collaboratively to set clear goals. She draws on client-centered conversation and evidence-informed techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical coping skills. Sessions are focused and goal-oriented, with space to process feelings.
People who choose Jean can expect a mix of reflection and action. The work often includes learning new ways to respond to stress, practicing mindfulness, and trying small behavior changes. Her aim is to make progress that fits each person’s life and schedule.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's concerns and supports their own goals, which helps when the work needs to be driven by personal priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and changing routines that contribute to stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It pairs well with CBT when people want tools to use in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jean will work with clients to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. That collaborative process helps tailor a plan that fits each person's life.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual materials. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not feasible or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, follow-up notes, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and practice new skills between appointments.
