About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with eight years of experience in clinical settings. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, codependency, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. Kerre also addresses issues such as self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and attention-related challenges.

Kerre’s background includes inpatient work, school counseling, hospital crisis therapy, 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. This mix of roles has given her experience with a wide range of presenting issues across stages of life.

In sessions she uses practical, evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current responses. Client-centered principles guide her way of listening and responding.

Her approach is straightforward and skills-focused. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new coping skills, and building on existing strengths. Kerre emphasizes trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change.

People who have struggled to set boundaries, cope with loss, or manage mood and anxiety may find sessions useful for learning tools and making gradual changes. Before booking, confirm the session formats offered at the time so they fit your needs.

How sessions work

How Kerre’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when people feel stuck by worry or avoidance and want clear steps to act differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kerre will collaborate with clients to decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-based ideas, or a combination best fits their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needs change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also be useful when quieter surroundings are available or when someone prefers not to use video. Talk with Kerre about what will work best for scheduling and session length so sessions fit into everyday life.
