Eric Britz , LPC

Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 19 years of experience 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, earned in May 2005, and integrates expressive arts into clinical care alongside traditional talk therapy techniques.

He provides individual, group, and art therapy services for people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions and co-occurring disorders, relationship and family challenges, parenting difficulties, anger management, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues related to sexual orientation and men’s experiences. His background also includes work with those who are chronically and persistently mentally ill and with individuals involved in court and county jail systems.

Clinically he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused strategies, and art therapy methods, combined with crisis intervention skills, expressive arts, popular media, and principles from 12-step groups to tailor treatment. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, emphasizing a collaborative, multi-disciplinary path that helps people engage fully in the therapeutic process and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Eric Britz frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. He also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy, a set of methods designed to address the impact of traumatic experiences and support recovery from post-traumatic stress and related difficulties. In addition, a client-centered stance guides his work - focusing on empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and involved in shaping their treatment plan.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adapting techniques over time to find the best fit for individual needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for that collaborative work. Video calls allow for real-time conversation and visual connection, phone sessions provide an accessible alternative when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging support more frequent check-ins and ongoing communication between sessions. These options can make consistent treatment easier to maintain while accommodating busy schedules and geographic constraints.
