Steven Baruch, LPC

Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. He aims to listen with respect and compassion while tailoring sessions to each person’s needs.

His work emphasizes practical conversation and concrete steps. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors.

Sessions are shaped around the individual’s goals. Steven helps people talk through grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD concerns, and mood challenges. He also addresses issues such as loneliness, control problems, jealousy, impulsivity, and communication struggles.

Clients can expect a supportive approach that balances empathy with action. Steven frames therapy as a collaboration where small, achievable changes build toward better coping and clearer direction. He encourages people to take the first steps toward a more satisfying life.

Because his license covers Michigan, he works with people who live in that state. He conducts sessions in English and adapts pacing and tools to match each person’s daily life and responsibilities.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. It is built around listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most to them; this can be useful for concerns like low self-esteem, grief, or feeling stuck.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and behavior. It uses simple experiments and practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood problems.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide what to try first. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and the plan is adjusted together.

Confirm session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and let people fit sessions into work breaks or busy days. It can also reduce travel time and support steady progress through brief check-ins and focused skill practice.
