Jean Snyder, LPC

Jean Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and substance concerns. She talks plainly and works alongside clients to set clear goals. Jean emphasizes practical steps people can take between sessions to move forward. Jean favors a collaborative approach. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and uses short assignments to build new habits. Those tasks might be a short reading, a writing exercise, or a behavioral task to test new ways of coping. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including mood swings, bipolar challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related worries, sleep problems, career stress, and ADHD. She also addresses issues connected to caregiving, chronic illness, addiction, codependency, and relationship communication problems. Jean combines talking-based therapy with practical techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and on mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. People meet with her for steady, goal-focused work. Sessions often include specific skills practice and short homework tasks. This hands-on pace is aimed at producing small, useful changes that add up over time.

How Jean’s approaches translate to online care

Jean commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and then try practical alternatives. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues.

She also uses client-centered techniques that focus sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach emphasizes active listening and shaping plans based on each person’s goals. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactivity, which can help with stress, anger, and some mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will discuss which methods feel most helpful and will adapt plans based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides what is tried in sessions and as between-session tasks.

Online therapy with Jean can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill demonstrations, phone can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for quick check-ins, shorter exercises, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
