About Kerre
Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and concerns around self-esteem and body image. She works with people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep or eating concerns, and those navigating life changes like career shifts or caregiving stress. Kerre practices from Michigan and offers services in English.
Kerre brings eight years in the helping professions, with roles in inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis work, and outpatient therapy.
Background and approach
She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies from Regent University, and also earned a Master of Divinity from the same school. That range influences how she tailors care for each person. In sessions she emphasizes a supportive relationship built on trust and unconditional positive regard.
She uses clear, practical tools and talks through coping strategies alongside emotional work. The focus is on noticing strengths and building skills clients can use outside sessions. Kerre draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, attachment perspectives, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered techniques.
She adapts methods to the concern at hand, aiming for tangible steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. People who want a direct, warm therapist who combines life experience with clinical training may find this approach helpful. Kerre aims to walk alongside clients as they sort priorities, try new behaviors, and build routines that support wellbeing.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people create more supported ways of relating and responding to others. Finding the right approach is part of the work and it happens together. Kerre will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process lets you test techniques and keep what works while dropping what doesn’t. Online therapy offers practical benefits that can make consistent care easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter contact fits a busy day. These formats support flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or other routines without long commutes.Questions people ask about Kerre
