About Renee
Renee Butler is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of professional experience in Texas. She holds an LCSW and has focused her practice on concerns like addictions, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, and LGBTQ matters. Renee speaks English and welcomes clients from outside the United States as well.
Her style is straightforward and affirming. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and easy to follow, with clear next steps after conversations. Renee draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems such as substance use, depression, and trauma. She also has experience with issues that arise across the lifespan, including aging and geriatric concerns, midlife transitions, and end-of-life matters.
Other focus areas include divorce and separation, forgiveness, and challenges faced by veterans and first responders. Parents can expect a calm, steady presence in sessions and straightforward guidance about parenting concerns. Conversations can include planning, coping strategies, and ways to improve day-to-day interactions at home.
Her practice offers flexible online options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Renee uses proven therapeutic techniques that focus on tangible change. One common approach she uses is trauma-informed care, which helps people process and reduce the impact of past hurt while building coping skills for daily life. Another key method is cognitive-behavioral style work, which looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to change reactions, helpful for depression and anxiety.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Renee collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. This makes therapy a team effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parent routines and varied daily demands while keeping care consistent across distance.
