About Gaynor

Gaynor Butler is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting struggles. Gaynor also supports those managing anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and stress from life changes.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication rather than long lectures.

Background and approach

Parents often leave with simple steps they can try between meetings. Gaynor blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small meaningful actions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is applied to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness. Clients who prefer a calm, collaborative pace often do well with her.

She makes space for emotional honesty while keeping goals in view. Gaynor is based in Georgia and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW, with the license listed as GA LCSW CSW005515. Work in therapy can include coping tools for stress, coaching around life transitions, and support for identity or intimacy concerns.

Gaynor aims to make therapy useful and understandable, so people leave feeling clearer and more able to manage the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what truly matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday experiments to reduce worry and change behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now, and it supports building safer, more supported ways of relating when trust or closeness feels difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gaynor partners with each person to pick techniques that fit their situation and goals. She adapts methods as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities. Video lets people read facial cues and practice conversations, while phone or messaging can feel more convenient on busy days. The variety helps people keep momentum and try strategies between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
