About Steven
Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, and ADHD.
He uses clear, direct conversation to identify what is most pressing for each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding the thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Steven combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
People come to him with feelings of guilt and shame, questions about forgiveness, or difficulty coping after loss or traumatic events. He also works with mood problems, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, impulsivity, isolation, and challenges tied to aging or military experience.
In a typical session he asks focused questions, reflects what he hears, and suggests small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. He helps people name unhelpful thoughts, practice alternative responses, and track what changes between sessions.
Steven’s practice operates under Michigan licensure rules, so he sees clients who reside in that state. Conversations are in English and his approach is straightforward and collaborative. To begin, follow the site’s steps to complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is built around attentive listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel heard, clarify their concerns, and guide the pace of work toward what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive thoughts, and problems with impulsivity.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what they’ve tried before. Together they choose techniques to start with and adjust as sessions proceed, so the plan reflects what feels useful in practice.
The original biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling. Licensed professionals can use conversation and CBT exercises in remote sessions much like they do in person, helping people track homework, practice skills between appointments, and test new responses in real situations.
