About Kerre
Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Kerre uses a warm, direct style that focuses on strengths and realistic steps forward.
She draws on about eight years in the helping professions, including inpatient work, school counseling, hospital crisis work, and outpatient therapy. That background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, from mood disorders and trauma to eating and sleep problems.
Background and approach
Kerre also has experience with life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on building trust and a nonjudgmental space. In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then collaborating on goals and small, doable strategies.
She highlights the client’s abilities and practical skills to tackle daily challenges and longer-term changes. Kerre uses several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies, along with attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered care. These tools are applied in plain terms, like identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new habits, and strengthening coping skills.
She works with adults across many concerns such as relationship issues, parenting stress, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and career or purpose questions. Sessions aim to be focused, skill-oriented, and respectful of each person’s values and goals.
How Kerre’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. It is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerre will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. That means trying tools, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy with Kerre is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is helpful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, or caregiving duties.
