About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She practices from Michigan and offers a direct, compassionate approach. Kerre writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s story.

She aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and start making changes. Kerre trained at Regent University, earning a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies.

Background and approach

She also holds a Master of Divinity from the same school. Her background includes inpatient care, hospital crisis work, school counseling, and outpatient therapy. Those roles shaped her skill in crisis response and day-to-day coping strategies.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and highlighting strengths. She uses clear, practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and skills-based therapies. Clients also encounter emotion-focused and acceptance-based ideas aimed at helping them tolerate hard feelings and act on what matters.

Kerre adapts tools to individual needs rather than following a single rigid method. She helps people learn new coping skills, practice communication, and notice patterns that keep problems going. Her work includes attention to trauma, attachment, and self-image issues.

Therapy with Kerre moves at a practical pace. She helps people set small goals, try new behaviors, and track progress. Her approach emphasizes steady support and real-world skills for handling everyday challenges.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-driven action so clients can move toward a meaningful life even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems by teaching concrete coping strategies.

Kerre treats approach selection as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, habits, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adapt the plan over time so therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to get support. Sessions can happen by video or phone for real-time conversation. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to use skills in real life when they matter most.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
