About Kerre
Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship strains, and phobias. She draws on eight years of work in schools, inpatient settings, hospitals, and outpatient therapy to support people through hard moments.
Kerre uses straightforward talk and steady support to help clients cope, adjust, and build on what already works for them. Kerre focuses on practical skills and clearer thinking.
Background and approach
She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also works with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward it. Attachment-based ideas shape how she views relationships and personal patterns.
That perspective helps when people bring concerns about abandonment, communication problems, or attachment issues. She blends that with client-centered listening so people feel heard and understood as they set goals. Her background includes a master's in clinical mental health counseling and a certificate in trauma studies.
Kerre has experience supporting people with body image concerns, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, addiction-related issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and adjustment after major life changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. Kerre helps clients identify strengths and small steps they can take between sessions.
The approach is practical, relational, and steady, helping people move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts and still act on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools to reduce anxiety, phobias, and mood symptoms through practice and homework. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and early bonds to understand how people relate now, which can help with intimacy, abandonment worries, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kerre will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging support short updates, homework check-ins, and ongoing connection between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, needs, and comfort levels.
