Eric Britz

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. He works with clients on issues like depression, parenting challenges, grief, anger, ADHD, and self-esteem. He uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people move forward.

With 19 years of counseling experience, Eric combines several approaches to meet each person's needs. He draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address painful memories and the thoughts that keep problems going. He also uses Client-Centered techniques to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space and motivational interviewing to support change when substance use or other behaviors are involved.

Eric trained at Wayne State University and holds a Master of Arts in counseling with a specialization in art therapy, and he holds the LPC credential. He has worked in a wide range of settings, including addiction treatment, crisis intervention, and corrections, and has led both individual and group work.

In sessions he often blends talk work with practical exercises and expressive arts activities when useful. He aims to help people develop tools they can use between appointments and to approach healing in small, steady steps. Eric emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding labels.

To begin, he asks people to identify clear goals and then matches methods to those goals. His focus is on supporting each person through realistic, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people safely address painful memories and the ways those memories affect daily life. It often uses steady, paced steps to reduce distress and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Eric will work with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments happen as work progresses so the plan matches what is actually helping.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or family schedules. It can also enable different kinds of exercises and homework between meetings, which can reinforce CBT and trauma-focused work.
