Kerre Nitz

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to self-esteem and body image. She also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Kerre’s approach centers on listening and building trust so people feel heard from the first session.

She draws on many evidence-informed methods to tailor work to each person. Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to manage thoughts and behavior, mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce struggling with feelings, and attachment-focused ideas to improve how people relate to others. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered work to strengthen coping and build self-compassion.

Kerre has eight years in the helping professions, including work in inpatient settings, school counseling, hospital crisis services, and outpatient individual therapy. Her educational background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a certificate in trauma studies, plus a master’s of divinity in church and ministry.

In therapy she emphasizes noticing strengths, naming skills, and setting small goals to make change feel possible. She describes the room as a place to explore purpose and regain confidence after setbacks. Kerre welcomes conversations about practical steps forward, whether the need is short-term coping or longer-term growth.

People who choose Kerre can expect a calm, direct partner who helps translate insight into day-to-day tools. She works in English and accepts international clients; session options should be confirmed before booking.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Kerre uses several practical approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, teaches people to notice difficult emotions without getting stuck and to commit to actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kerre explores each person’s goals and preferences and then suggests a mix of methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if things aren’t helping or if priorities change, so clients stay involved in deciding what works best for them.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and travel because it removes commute time and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it simpler to practice skills between appointments and to bring daily-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, aim to help clients use therapy tools in everyday routines so progress carries over beyond the session.
