About Eric
Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and parenting concerns. He brings nearly two decades of clinical experience and a direct, practical style that aims to help people make steady, manageable changes.
He writes and talks plainly in sessions and works to create a calm space where a person can begin to sort out their priorities and next steps. He trained at Wayne State University and earned a Master of Arts in counseling with a specialization in Art Therapy in 2005.
Background and approach
Since then he has worked as a psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and life coach in a range of settings. His background includes individual and group work, and experience with people facing depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, and challenges from trauma and abuse. In sessions he often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients change patterns that cause distress.
He also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on what a person can try between sessions. Eric has long experience supporting people through relationship strain, divorce and separation, and parenting stress.
He also works with concerns related to substance use, process addictions, ADHD, and issues affecting men. He offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based formats to fit different schedules. Clients can expect straightforward guidance and a consistent presence.
He emphasizes respect and compassion and aims to help people take the first steps toward better daily routines and healthier coping.
How Eric’s Methods Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps when a person needs a respectful, nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps that can be changed. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits that interfere with daily life.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and strengthen internal motivation. It can be helpful for people working on substance use, lifestyle shifts, or other goals that require steady commitment.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Eric will talk with each person about what they want to accomplish and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give a face-to-face feel while phone sessions remove travel time. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter, focused exchanges when that fits better. These options make it easier to fit regular work on problems into a busy life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
