About Lisa
Lisa Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, grief, and relationship strain. Lisa also supports those coping with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or parenting pressures.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered principles. Sessions focus on clearing communication barriers, identifying patterns that fuel anger or resentment, and building better coping skills. She uses practical tools rather than abstract theory so people can try changes between meetings.
Lisa incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies when helpful. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, and testing small behavior changes. She also uses emotionally-focused approaches to address hurt in close relationships.
People come to her for help with addictions, family stress, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness, and trauma or abuse recovery. She pays attention to attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and issues that arise in blended families or during divorce and separation.
Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented. Lisa asks about recent patterns and what the person wants to change. Together they set simple, practical steps to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage the daily stresses that often feed anger.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. It helps people understand why anger or mistrust shows up in intimate moments and how to change those interaction cycles.Client-centered therapy focuses on clear listening and working at the client’s pace. It helps someone feel heard and then identify practical steps they want to take to manage anger or rebuild trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions this often means spotting automatic thoughts that escalate anger, testing alternative responses, and practicing small behavioral experiments between meetings.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on current problems, goals, and what feels workable in daily life. That decision can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. others appreciate not needing to be on camera for every meeting if that helps them engage more consistently.
