Eric Britz, LPC

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of experience as a psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and life coach. He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling with a specialization in Art Therapy from Wayne State University, earned in May 2005, and brings that expressive arts training into clinical work when appropriate. His practice includes individual, group, and art therapy services for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, anger management, addiction and co-occurring disorders, men’s issues, and questions related to religion and spirituality.

Eric has also supported individuals with chronic, persistent mental illness and has experience providing services in court and county jail settings. He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused methods, and art therapy techniques alongside other evidence-based practices to meet clients where they are. His background spans crisis intervention, counseling, expressive arts, popular media, and involvement with 12-step groups, which he draws on to tailor treatment approaches to each person’s needs.

He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in care and avoids reducing people to labels. Eric views therapy as a collaborative journey and offers steady support as clients take the steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Eric draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past trauma, focusing on safety, stabilization, and processing experiences in ways that reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of his work, emphasizing a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their values and goals while the therapist follows their lead.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Eric is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow therapy to fit into busy routines while maintaining a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
