About Renee
Renee Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on addictions, LGBT concerns, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, and depression. Renee also lists a range of related focus areas including divorce and separation, domestic violence, and issues affecting veterans and first responders.
Renee approaches work in a straightforward way. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions tend to center on practical steps that fit into everyday life, not long lectures or abstract theory.
In conversation she listens for patterns that cause repeated stress at home. Then she suggests small, concrete changes clients can try between sessions. This might include new ways to set boundaries, manage urges tied to addiction, or handle conflicts about parenting and intimacy.
She is used to working with people navigating grief, midlife transitions, and end-of-life concerns alongside mental health symptoms. Her background also includes support around immigration-related stress and hearing-impaired clients.
Renee offers a direct, steady way of working. She helps people name practical goals, experiment with different approaches, and track what actually changes. The emphasis is on doable steps that reduce everyday strain and improve relationships at home.
How sessions work
How Renee uses evidence-based approaches online
Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in plain terms. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior and then testing small changes to see what helps. This kind of work is helpful for mood disorders, depression, and some relationship problems. Another approach emphasizes coping strategies for addiction and trauma, teaching specific skills to manage urges, reduce reactivity, and rebuild routines that support recovery and stable mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. She will discuss options, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what is actually helpful for the client.
