About Renee
Renee Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma and mood concerns. Renee emphasizes strengths and sees the person as the expert in their own story.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions aim to build coping skills for depression, reduce the impact of past abuse, and address intimacy or parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Renee also supports people navigating LGBT issues, substance use, and life changes like divorce or midlife transitions. Renee has worked with a wide range of concerns over two decades, including first responder and veteran issues, aging and geriatric challenges, immigration-related stress, and end-of-life conversations. She also offers help around forgiveness, commitment struggles, and fatherhood issues.
Her practice includes attention to mood disorders and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder when relevant to an individual's needs. Her approach is collaborative. She listens, helps people name small achievable goals, and practices skills together in session.
The focus is on practical steps that fit daily life rather than long lectures or tests. Renee offers services in English and accepts international clients. She encourages anyone ready to try therapy to take the first step and begin the matching process on the site.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Renee draws on proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on usable skills and real-life change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills to manage mood problems and cravings; sessions teach strategies people can try between meetings to reduce depressive symptoms and handle urges related to addiction. Another approach centers on processing trauma in a paced way that reduces its hold on daily life, using careful conversation and gradual exposure to memories or triggers where appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Renee collaborates with each person to choose or adapt methods based on the individual's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging works well for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
