Shantel Butler

Shantel Butler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and mood disorders including bipolar disorder. She also helps people who are questioning their life direction and meaning.

Shantel focuses on straightforward, practical conversations. She listens to what’s happening now and looks at patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions often involve talking through relationship and communication problems, handling panic or social anxiety, and managing overwhelming mood shifts.

She pays attention to attachment patterns and control issues that can make relationships hard. She helps people process trauma, guilt, shame, and forgiveness so those experiences stop steering day-to-day choices. For those facing separation or divorce, she offers support for the emotional adjustments that follow.

Shantel also works with people who feel isolated or unsure about their purpose in life. She talks through ways to reconnect with values and small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. Work often includes setting simple goals and trying new habits to test what helps.

Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She respects different backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQ+ people and those who bring spiritual or faith perspectives. She invites practical problem solving alongside deeper reflection so clients can make clearer decisions about what comes next.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Shantel uses evidence-based techniques to address worry, mood symptoms, and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That helps with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking by practicing different ways of responding in everyday situations.

Another helpful focus is working with attachment and communication patterns. This approach looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and then practices new ways of relating and speaking so interactions feel less reactive and more intentional.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and check in to adjust the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online meetings to work through communication skills, mood management strategies, and planning steps for life purpose exploration.
