Kerre Nitz, LPC

Kerre Nitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Saginaw, Michigan who offers thoughtful, client-focused care. She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Studies from Regent University, along with a Master of Divinity in church and ministry from the same institution. As an LPC she is a licensed mental health professional trained to provide counseling for a wide range of concerns.

Her background spans inpatient settings, school counseling, hospital crisis work, and outpatient individual therapy. That varied experience has given her familiarity with working across the lifespan, including school-age children, teens, adults, and older adults, and with presenting issues that range in complexity and intensity.

Kerre specializes in areas such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem and body image, grief and loss, bipolar disorder and psychosis, eating disorders, anger and stress management, adjustment disorders, and crisis counseling. She approaches treatment by building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in unconditional positive regard and trust, and she emphasizes creating a supportive space where clients can explore challenges and strengths.

Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed perspectives, mindfulness and narrative strategies, gestalt-influenced work, reality-oriented interventions, and motivational interviewing. Kerre focuses on identifying and amplifying each person’s abilities and resources to help them move toward their goals and greater well-being.

Approaches and Online Care with Kerre Nitz

Kerre uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps clients understand trust, intimacy, and connection issues and supports work on relationships, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kerre collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Offering sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to engage in consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Online formats provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to work with licensed professionals from different locations, supporting access to therapy when and how it is most useful.
