About Kerre
Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with eight years of experience in clinical and counseling roles. She works with young adults and others on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma and related issues listed in her profile.
Kerre draws on several therapy approaches in her sessions. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what a person brings. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-focused work appear in her practice when they fit a person's needs.
Her background spans inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis work, 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, all from Regent University. That mix of settings means she has experience with crisis response, adjustment concerns, and longer-term therapy.
In sessions Kerre emphasizes developing a trusting therapeutic relationship. She aims to notice and build on a person's strengths and practical skills. Conversations typically involve identifying patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new ways to cope with daily pressures.
People often come to her for major life changes, career questions, parenting stress, chronic illness, and issues connected to attachment or abandonment. Kerre also lists specialty areas such as bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
How Kerre’s approaches translate to online sessions
Kerre uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small, value-based steps. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes because it focuses on actions rather than getting stuck in thoughts.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with listening and reflecting the person’s experience. This approach helps people feel understood and make sense of their priorities before trying new skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another prominent tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different behaviors in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kerre will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needed rather than fixed in advance.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use tools from CBT and ACT between sessions, such as behavior experiments and value-driven exercises, so therapy can connect directly to everyday life.
