Steven Baruch, LPC

Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 4 years of professional experience. He focuses on supporting people who are managing stress, anxiety, and depression, and he approaches that work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Steven adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s distinct needs and goals. He views the decision to seek help as a courageous first step and aims to empower clients as they pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life. His practice emphasizes collaborative planning so that therapy fits the individual rather than requiring the individual to fit a preset model.

Because his license authorizes practice only with residents of Michigan, Steven works specifically with clients located in that state. He offers an environment intended to be supportive and strengths-based, guiding clients through change while honoring their pace and preferences.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Steven draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their goals at their own pace - it is useful for people seeking acceptance, emotional clarity, and stronger self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a goal-oriented approach that helps identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steven works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Steven is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or other comfortable settings, and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their daily life and communication style.
