Kerre Nitz, LPC

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, and the changes that come with midlife. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on building trust so clients feel heard and understood. Kerre practices in Michigan and works in English, and she accepts international clients.

Kerre draws on eight years in the helping professions, including inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis work, and outpatient individual therapy. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies from Regent University. She also earned a Master of Divinity from Regent University in church and ministry.

Her approach is grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes unconditional positive regard and a collaborative, client-centered stance. Sessions focus on practical skills as well as understanding patterns that keep clients stuck.

Kerre uses several evidence-based methods in her work, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed strategies, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She tailors these to each person’s needs rather than applying one rigid plan.

Common issues Kerre supports include body image struggles, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, grief and loss, anger, parenting stress, chronic illness and caregiver strain, and adjustment after major life events. She also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds and compassion fatigue.

Clients can expect a mix of symptom-focused tools and deeper exploration of values and purpose. Kerre aims to help people identify strengths, build practical coping skills, and move toward goals that matter to them.

How Kerre’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Kerre uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy issues and abandonment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kerre works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each person’s goals and preferences. She may combine tools from different approaches so the work addresses both immediate symptoms and deeper patterns.

The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments and reduce travel time. The original profile does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, process emotions, and track progress in ways that fit everyday routines.
