About Kirt
Kirt Baab is a licensed master social worker with 37 years of clinical experience who draws on a wide range of practice settings to support clients.
Background and approach
He has worked in addiction treatment, mental health programs, hospital outpatient clinics, social service agencies, and schools, and uses that breadth of experience to shape practical, person-focused care. Kirt emphasizes an approach that centers the individual rather than rigid adherence to theory, viewing techniques as tools that work best when applied within a trusting therapeutic relationship.
He has learned from clinicians across diverse cultural backgrounds and has experience with people of varied sexual orientations, physical abilities, and life stages. Kirt aims to teach skills that reduce emotional suffering, interrupt painful patterns, and expand the capacity to engage in a more fulfilling life.
His practice addresses a broad set of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and many related challenges.
Kirt’s goals with clients include decreasing the intensity of depression and anxiety, lengthening the time between episodes of panic or excessive worry, easing hopelessness, improving communication, and building resilience for life’s difficulties. He welcomes new clients and focuses on practical steps toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and connection; it helps people explore attachment needs and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift core emotional responses to improve closeness and communication in important relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kirt will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and which methods fit best, adapting techniques from different orientations to meet changing needs rather than relying on one fixed model.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible ways to engage in this work from many locations in Michigan. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain consistency during life transitions, and access ongoing skills coaching and support between meetings.
