Kerre Nitz

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar symptoms, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Kerre practices in Michigan and communicates in English.

Kerre aims to build a strong therapeutic connection first. She focuses on trust, unconditional positive regard, and a calm space where people can speak openly. Her style centers on noticing strengths and practical skills clients already have.

Her clinical background includes work in inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis services, and outpatient individual therapy. Those settings exposed her to a wide range of concerns across age groups from school-age children to older adults.

Kerre uses several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She combines these approaches to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns.

She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies from Regent University, plus a Master of Divinity from the same school. Kerre has eight years of experience in the helping professions and holds an LPC credential in Michigan.

Her work emphasizes practical steps, skill building, and helping people reconnect with purpose. Kerre invites clients to explore goals together and to find manageable ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and process difficult events in a paced way, focusing on safety and reducing the hold of traumatic memories. It can be useful for people coping with past abuse, disasters, or overwhelming incidents.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction and practical steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and connection. It can help people improve how they relate to others and manage fears around closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerre will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision evolves as therapy continues and progress is reviewed together.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a break, use short sessions when needed, or keep therapy consistent across moves. The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting and help people apply skills in everyday life.
