About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing from Michigan. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and body image struggles, addictions, trauma, bipolar concerns, and issues related to parenting, sleep, eating, intimacy, and career. Kerre draws on eight years in the helping professions to guide conversations and goal-setting.

She aims for an open, respectful relationship with each person. Kerre emphasizes listening first, then working together to identify strengths and small, practical steps forward. Her style is collaborative and focused on building trust so people feel heard and able to try new coping skills.

Kerre’s background includes 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 from Regent University, as well as a Master of Divinity from the same school. This mix of clinical and ministry training informs her approach when people bring grief, spiritual questions, or life transitions.

In sessions she draws on methods like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and dialectical behavior therapy. She uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, practice new behaviors, and manage overwhelming emotions.

Kerre focuses on practical skills, strengths, and values to help people move through loss, setbacks, and life changes. She invites clients to set clear goals and to test small changes between sessions, then review what helps and what needs adjusting.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Kerre commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She views the choice of approach as something to decide together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. That cooperative process guides which techniques and exercises are used in ongoing sessions.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule workday breaks or evening appointments more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions, using worksheets, values work, skill coaching, and structured behavior plans to keep progress moving between meetings.
