About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as parenting challenges, coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related problems. With attention to both emotional and practical obstacles, she works with clients navigating eating and sleeping difficulties, career questions, bipolar disorder, and family dynamics.

Her style centers on building a trusting therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and unconditional positive regard. Kerre combines client-centered listening with structured techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based approaches, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients identify patterns, practice new skills, and pursue meaningful change.

She brings eight years of experience in clinical settings and draws on training in trauma-informed care to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Kerre aims to highlight clients’ strengths and support tangible progress toward their goals while helping them navigate setbacks along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises and skill-building useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns rooted in early relationships to improve emotional connection, communication, and how people relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Kerre takes a collaborative stance, inviting clients to share their goals and preferences so together they can select strategies and pace that feel manageable and relevant. This process allows approaches like CBT, ACT, or attachment-focused techniques to be adapted to the client’s situation rather than applied rigidly.

Online therapy with Kerre is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or when in-person options are limited. These formats support continuity of care, flexibility in scheduling, and options for people who prefer shorter check-ins or more text-based exchanges alongside scheduled sessions.
