About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with eight years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem problems, and other life changes. Kerre also supports those facing trauma, addiction, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, and caregiver or chronic illness stress.

She trained for a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and earned a Certificate in Trauma Studies from Regent University. Kerre also holds a Master of Divinity from the same school. Her background includes inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis work, and outpatient individual therapy. These roles have exposed her to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults with a wide range of issues.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship and on clear, practical work together. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-based concepts also inform her approach.

Kerre aims to identify strengths and practical skills clients can use between sessions. Conversations often include problem-solving, behavioral strategies, and ways to manage strong emotions. She draws on DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the site button.

Therapeutic approaches and how they guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help people who want to reduce avoidance and take small meaningful steps despite anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, phobias, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, which can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment worries, or relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and will suggest options to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy proceeds.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone avoid heavy bandwidth by using audio only. Therapists can use ACT and CBT exercises, skills practice, and emotion regulation techniques through remote appointments just as they do in person, while working with the client to find a schedule and format that fits day-to-day life.
