About Kerre
Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and related struggles. She draws on eight years of experience in clinical and school settings to offer practical support. Kerre aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find workable steps forward.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods that fit each person’s needs. That includes helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, learn coping skills for intense emotions, and build routines that support sleep and eating.
Background and approach
Kerre also pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions. Her background includes work in inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis response, and outpatient individual therapy. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies, plus a Master of Divinity.
Those experiences inform her calm, direct style. In sessions she emphasizes a strong working relationship, trust, and respect. She highlights client strengths and practical skills over abstract theory.
The goal is steady progress on clear, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Kerre supports people dealing with a broad range of life challenges, including relationship struggles, parenting concerns, addiction-related worries, career transitions, and recovery from trauma. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and connection problems, helping people repair how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerre collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts tools and exercises over time so sessions feel relevant and doable rather than overwhelming.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult, and they let licensed professionals offer focused, skill-based work across distances.
