About
Kirt Baab is a Michigan-based therapist with 37 years of experience working across diverse care settings. He has provided services in addiction treatment programs, mental health treatment, hospital outpatient clinics, social service agencies, and schools.
His practice emphasizes the person rather than a single theoretical model. While trained in multiple clinical approaches, he applies those methods within a collaborative therapeutic relationship tailored to each individual.
He has learned from therapists of Native American, Hispanic, African American, Caucasian, and Asian backgrounds, and his clinical work includes supporting people of different sexual orientations, physical abilities, and life stages. He values those differences while maintaining a shared focus with each person he works with.
In addition to offering direct treatment, he teaches practical skills designed to reduce emotional suffering, break painful habits, and expand the ability to live a fuller life. Central aims of his work include easing depression and anxiety, lengthening the time between episodes of panic or excessive worry, lessening feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, improving communication with significant others, strengthening resilience, and reducing overall emotional pain.
He is licensed in Michigan as a master social worker and brings a long history of clinical practice to his work with clients.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions - online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical practice have shown that virtual sessions work well for these types of issues when matched with an appropriate therapist.
One key benefit is flexibility. People can choose the communication method that fits their needs and schedule, connecting by video, by phone, through live chat, or via in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists. If a different style or fit is needed, clients are generally able to switch therapists at any time to find the best match for their needs.
