Eric Britz

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling stuck by offering straightforward, practical support for problems like anger, anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. He speaks English and aims to meet people where they are without judgment.

He uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses past harms and how they affect life now. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to build motivation and set clear, manageable goals.

Eric’s background includes work as a psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and life coach. He earned a Master of Arts in counseling with a specialization in art therapy from Wayne State University and has experience in group work, court and jail settings, and crisis intervention. That range informs a flexible style in sessions.

Sessions often include practical skills, short-term goals, and real-life problem solving. He uses art-based methods when helpful to access feelings that are hard to name. He treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids labeling.

To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The process is presented as a step-by-step partnership, with an emphasis on small, steady progress.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing past harm and reducing its impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process may include trying a few tools and keeping what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to use visual or art-based exercises during a session when helpful. Ask about format options so sessions match practical needs and daily life.
