About Kerre

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with eight years of experience in the helping professions. She works with adults on problems such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, self-esteem, addictions, and relationship concerns. Sessions address practical symptoms like trouble sleeping, eating issues, and difficulty managing strong emotions.

Kerre draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful patterns and try small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear when learning emotion regulation and distress tolerance is a priority. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used for values-focused work and managing painful thoughts.

Her background includes inpatient care, school counseling, hospital crisis work, and outpatient therapy. That mix gives experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. She also completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies, plus a Master of Divinity.

In sessions, Kerre favors a client-centered stance that highlights a person’s strengths and skills. Expect straight talk about coping strategies, behavioral experiments, and practical exercises you can try between meetings. The work often focuses on reducing reactivity, improving communication, and rebuilding routines that support better sleep and eating.

Kerre accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and clarifies what matters most. Online ACT sessions often focus on brief exercises and values-based actions you can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps and uses homework to test new habits. Doing CBT online makes it easy to review worksheets and track small experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. DBT-style skill practice can be taught in short modules and reinforced across sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerre will help you choose methods based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That process is collaborative - you try tools, note what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and remove travel time. It can also let you use camera-off or phone-only sessions when that suits you better. Ask about the current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical details can be arranged.
