About Eric

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to parenting and grief. Eric also lists work with ADHD, bipolar concerns, LGBT matters, and several addiction and men's issues areas.

Eric uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He also has a background in art therapy and experience in addiction counseling and crisis intervention, which inform how he structures sessions and treatment plans.

Sessions tend to focus on identifying current problems, testing realistic changes, and building coping skills. He uses short-term, goal-oriented tools as well as approaches geared to processing traumatic experience when needed. Motivational interviewing is used to support change around substance use or other behaviors that cause concern.

Eric has worked in a range of settings including group therapy and clinical work connected to courts and county jails. That history contributes to experience with co-occurring disorders and people who have had long-term or persistent mental health needs. He aims to combine practical strategies with expressive approaches when they suit a person's goals.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the pace and topics; it helps when someone needs time to clarify values and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday coping problems. Motivational Interviewing centers on building a person's own motivation for change and works well for addiction and behavior change challenges.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist discusses options and adapts methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session structure and homework between meetings.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow focusing on skill practice and written exercises between meetings to support progress in everyday life.
