About Lisa

Lisa Butler is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who focuses on practical, trauma-informed care. She uses EMDR alongside other approaches to help people move past painful memories and reduce stress. Lisa writes and speaks plainly, and she aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable.

She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. She helps with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and parenting stress.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver burden, body image concerns, and the effects of domestic violence. Lisa blends several therapeutic styles to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Her sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can practice between meetings. People can expect straightforward strategies for sleep, eating, coping with change, and managing ADHD-related challenges.

She also addresses career and communication problems in everyday language. Over 11 years of clinical work inform her judgment and the way she tailors care. Lisa accepts international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and ways of connecting. Online sessions can help identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it works well for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns by teaching concrete skills to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together pick methods that fit each person's situation. That collaboration can include combining techniques when someone needs both emotion processing and practical skill-building.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, skill practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice strategies between meetings.
