Steven Baruch, LPC

Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He has four years of clinical experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and related struggles. He approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Seeking help can feel hard, and he aims to make the first steps easier and more manageable.

Steven uses a straightforward, person-focused style. He adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation rather than applying one fixed method. Sessions prioritize what matters most to the individual and build practical strategies for day-to-day life.

He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to see choices more clearly. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches skills to reduce distress and improve functioning.

His work covers a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship challenges. He also addresses issues like loneliness, life purpose, control problems, compulsive behaviors, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Steven’s license allows him to work with people who live in Michigan. If someone wants to explore whether he is a match, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on his availability.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental setting where the person leads the conversation. It helps people clarify their feelings and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle cravings or compulsive urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use and will adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions fit what matters most to the individual.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and offer flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can still teach hands-on CBT skills and provide client-centered support through remote sessions, helping people practice new strategies between meetings.
