About Eric
Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, grief, and coping with life changes. Eric also lists work with ADHD, bipolar, LGBT concerns, anger, and a range of process and substance addictions.
He offers straightforward, practical sessions aimed at helping people sort through immediate problems and longer-term patterns. He uses talk-based methods alongside expressive approaches when useful. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, building small behavior changes, and setting concrete next steps that can fit into day-to-day life.
Eric draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches. His 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 in 2005.
He has experience running individual and group work and has provided services in settings that include community treatment and court or jail systems. That variety informs a practical, no-nonsense style that focuses on what helps most right now.
People who come because of parenting strain, relationship stress, addiction concerns, or trauma tend to work on clear goals. Eric helps identify manageable steps, tracks progress, and adjusts methods as needs change.
How sessions work
How Eric uses common approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a constructive working relationship. It helps people talk through what matters to them and identify personal strengths to apply to everyday problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses simple exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to address patterns that get in the way of parenting or relationships.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons for change. It is often used with addictions and behavior change work to move from ambivalence to practical next steps.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress and circumstances become clearer.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to virtual conversations and short practice assignments between sessions, while expressive methods can be adapted for remote formats with guidance.
