About Eric
Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who offers nearly two decades of clinical experience to people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and related concerns.
Background and approach
He blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a respectful, nonjudgmental stance to help clients move through life changes, grief, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, anger, and issues related to ADHD, bipolar conditions, and LGBTQ concerns.
Drawing on 19 years of work as a psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and life coach, he employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside trauma-focused interventions and client-centered practices to tailor care to each person's needs. His background includes training in expressive and art-based techniques as well as familiarity with crisis intervention, 12-step approaches, and work within court and county jail systems.
Eric emphasizes collaboration, compassion, and practical steps toward clients' goals, helping people address process addictions, substance use concerns, self-harm risk, autism and Asperger Syndrome related needs, divorce and separation, and men's issues. He frames therapy as a partnership and supports clients through each step of change.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it is practical and goal-oriented, helping clients develop coping skills and problem-solving strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore feelings while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support to foster self-directed growth. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change, particularly useful for addiction recovery and ambivalence about behavior change by enhancing intrinsic motivation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what resonates and what produces progress. That partnership helps tailor interventions so the work fits a client’s preferences and life circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver interactive CBT exercises, reflective conversation, motivational support, and practical coping tools from a distance while accommodating different communication styles and time needs.
