About Steven
Steven Baruch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on clear, practical work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
He uses plain conversation and collaborative planning to tailor sessions to what matters most to each client. Sessions are goal-focused and paced to fit the person’s needs rather than a fixed script.
Background and approach
Steven helps people identify patterns that get in the way and develop small, doable changes that build over time. Steven combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools. That means he listens first, then introduces concrete strategies to shift thinking and behavior when they feel stuck.
Those approaches are helpful for mood concerns, panic, compulsive patterns, and struggles with motivation or focus. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and self-esteem problems. Additional focus areas include isolation, impulsivity, control issues, life purpose, and multicultural concerns.
Sessions address both immediate problems and longer-term goals. Steven works with each person to create a plan that fits their life. He frames progress as a sequence of small steps that add up.
If someone wants practical tools plus a steady listening presence, he offers that combination in his Michigan practice.
How client-centered care and CBT work online
Client-centered therapy starts with the person’s experience. The therapist listens with curiosity and adjusts pace and approach to what the client says. This helps people feel heard and shapes a plan that fits their goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and then testing practical alternatives. It tends to include short exercises, homework, and clear steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what’s most important, try methods that match those goals, and change course if something isn’t helping. That collaborative process makes it easier to find what actually helps day to day.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or get support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on real, practical progress.
