About Eric
Eric Britz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 19 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and related challenges. He uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients identify next steps and build coping skills.
He trained at Wayne State University where he earned a Master of Arts in counseling with a specialization in art therapy. Over nearly two decades he has worked as a psychotherapist, addiction counselor, and life coach, and has experience with people involved with court and county jail systems. He has offered individual work, group work, and art therapy interventions.
In sessions he draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He also brings techniques from expressive arts and 12-step approaches when helpful. Eric aims to meet people where they are and to treat them with respect and compassion.
His practice includes support for a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, autism and Asperger Syndrome, process addictions, and self-harm. He strives to help people take practical steps toward change and to find resources that fit their lives.
Eric emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. He frames therapy as a series of small steps rather than quick fixes, and focuses on tools clients can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and goal-focused talk to build motivation for behaviors like reducing substance use or improving daily routines.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on understanding each person without judgment. The therapist offers empathy and support while people set the focus and pace of their work, which can help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and to develop new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions that match a client’s schedule. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the practical focus is on tools and steps clients can apply between meetings. -
