About Lisa

Lisa Butler is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She works with individuals to untangle relationship problems, manage strong emotions like anger, and rebuild self-esteem. Lisa practices in North Carolina and brings 11 years of experience to each session.

She favors straightforward conversations and practical tools. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next. That might mean learning new coping skills, practicing different ways to talk with others, or trying behavioral steps to ease anxiety and improve sleep.

Background and approach

Lisa draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused ideas. She adapts these methods to fit each person’s situation instead of using one fixed plan. This helps when clients face challenges like addiction, trauma, or caregiving stress.

Her experience includes supporting people through relationship conflict, blended family issues, medical and caregiving strains, and recovery from substance use. Lisa also offers help with body image, eating and sleeping problems, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. People who choose Lisa can expect a calm, practical therapist who listens closely and helps set clear next steps.

She works collaboratively to build stronger coping skills and clearer communication patterns, with an eye toward steady, manageable progress.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Lisa uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they connect and trust. This can help with relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.

Client-centered work focuses on empathic listening and meeting people where they are. It creates space to talk through fears, grief, or changes without pressure, which can be useful for people coping with caregiving stress, career transitions, or recovery from addiction. Cognitive behavioral techniques add practical steps such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and building new habits to manage anxiety, sleep, or mood challenges.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That way clients play an active role in shaping the work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and learning interactive skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share updates between sessions or use brief written check-ins. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, long commutes, or family and work demands.
