About Steven
Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and available only to people who live in Michigan.
He uses client-centered therapy to focus the conversation on the client's experience and priorities. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse. In practice, that means talking through current difficulties, testing small changes, and noticing what helps.
Steven also assists with related concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, control issues, emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. He has worked with veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and panic attacks.
His approach emphasizes clear, practical steps rather than abstract concepts. Sessions typically involve setting goals, trying specific strategies between visits, and reviewing what changed. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. International clients are not currently accepted, and all work is limited to Michigan residents.
How his approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own concerns and priorities. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and shapes sessions around the client's goals. This approach can help when someone feels stuck, unsure what matters, or needs a clearer sense of priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns where changing daily habits and thinking gives relief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven will collaborate with the client to decide whether a client-centered emphasis, CBT techniques, or a mix fits best. That choice is based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since no specific online formats are listed in the biography. People often choose online sessions to fit therapy into work days, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when life is busy. Discussing format and timing during the initial matching questionnaire and first session helps make sessions practical and workable for everyday life.
