About Steven
Steven Baruch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and related concerns like panic disorder and panic attacks. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. If you are feeling overwhelmed, he offers calm support as you begin to make changes.
He uses conversations that are tailored to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all script. That means listening first, then working together to set clear goals. Practical steps often come from cognitive behavioral ideas and a client-centered way of meeting people where they are.
Sessions typically focus on what you are dealing with now - symptoms, day-to-day stressors, and patterns that keep problems going. He addresses related issues such as sleep disruption, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty concentrating. He also helps people talk through guilt, shame, and isolation so they can rebuild routines that feel manageable.
Steven emphasizes small, achievable changes. That can include experimenting with new behaviors between sessions, learning simple coping strategies for panic or anxiety, and tracking progress over time. He aims for straightforward language so parents and busy adults can follow and apply what’s discussed.
Because his license allows him to work with people who live in Michigan, sessions are arranged accordingly. To get started, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability.
How client-centered and CBT work together online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the conversation fit the person in front of the therapist. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into concrete steps and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for worry, panic attacks, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT exercises and tracking small changes between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, scheduling without travel time, or meeting when a quieter window opens. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they work in everyday settings and routines.
