About Lisa
Lisa Butler is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and related life changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. In sessions she helps people name difficult emotions and notice the patterns that keep them stuck. She also uses practical skills from CBT and DBT when it fits the concern.
Common reasons people reach out include low self-esteem, communication problems, coping with illness or caregiving strain, and challenges around parenting or blended families. She also supports people dealing with substance use, domestic violence effects, and the fallout of divorce or separation.
Work in the room mixes feeling-focused conversation with skill-building. That can mean tracking moments of strong emotion, practicing clearer ways to ask for needs, and learning tools to manage anger, sleep, eating, or attention concerns. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and make everyday life feel more manageable.
Her background includes helping people through career stress, compassion fatigue, and recovery from trauma or abuse. She accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. To begin, people are invited to choose a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name their core emotions and the interaction patterns those emotions create. It is often used when relationship patterns or hard-to-name feelings are getting in the way of connection or personal balance.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and responses to stress. It can help when fears of abandonment, commitment issues, or chronic relationship pain are present.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. It supports people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through problems and decide what changes to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on current goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. That might mean trying emotion-focused work for relational patterns, then adding CBT or DBT skills to manage anxiety or anger.
The original profile does not name specific online session formats, so confirm the options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, use shorter check-ins when needed, and choose audio-only sessions if bandwidth or camera use is an issue. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into daily life without changing its core focus.
