Eric Britz , LPC

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with over 17 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and life coach. He holds a Master of Arts degree in counseling with a specialization in Art Therapy from Wayne State University, awarded in May 2005, and integrates expressive arts methods alongside traditional therapeutic techniques to support change and growth.

He provides individual, group, and art therapy for people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse recovery, anger management, addiction recovery and co-occurring disorders, men’s issues, and religion or spiritual concerns. His practice has also included work with individuals who are chronically and persistently mentally ill and with people involved in court and county jail systems.

His primary therapeutic approach brings together Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and art-informed techniques, supplemented with other evidence-based practices. He draws on a multidisciplinary background in crisis intervention, counseling, expressive arts, popular media, and 12-step group experience to help clients access their potential and move toward meaningful change. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoids labeling, and aims to walk alongside clients as they take the next steps in their journeys.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Eric Britz incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this practical approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stressors. He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of trauma and abuse, providing strategies to process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. Additionally, his client-centered orientation emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for each person’s values and goals to guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Eric is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexible options to engage in care from home or other settings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
