About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting and career challenges.

Background and approach

She works with people facing trauma, chronic illness, caregiving stress, eating and sleeping problems, anger and complex life transitions, drawing on a broad clinical background to tailor care to varied needs. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes building trust and a strong working relationship, offering a collaborative atmosphere grounded in client-centered values.

Kerre combines evidence-informed methods such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with personal values and strengths. She aims to highlight existing abilities and encourage practical steps toward meaningful change.

With eight years in the helping professions, Kerre’s experience includes inpatient, school, hospital crisis, and outpatient settings, and she holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling plus a trauma studies certificate and a Master of Divinity. She accepts international clients and provides sessions through multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and needs.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Kerre uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients notice and dialogue with different internal parts that hold emotions, beliefs, or protective roles, which can be useful for addressing trauma, self-esteem, and complex emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action, a helpful framework for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how those patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, which supports work on intimacy, communication, and caregiving stress.

Choosing the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic journey. Kerre collaborates with each client to determine which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online therapy with Kerre is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and needs. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy lives, and access services from Michigan or internationally when appropriate.
