Treneva Butler, LCSW

Treneva Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family strain, grief, trauma, and other concerns listed below. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find what matters to them and to build motivation for change. Psychodynamic ideas sometimes inform longer-term patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

Treneva emphasizes clear, everyday language in sessions. She helps people name what is most pressing, then breaks problems into manageable steps. Conversations may include behavior change strategies, short exercises in awareness, and goal-focused planning.

Her background includes undergraduate and graduate study at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. In prior roles she worked with children and adolescents and with adults living with chronic illness for many years. That experience informs how she thinks about stress, coping, and ongoing health-related challenges.

People who come to her often bring issues such as addictions, parenting pressures, career stress, ADHD, intimacy concerns, or fallout from discrimination and prejudice. Treneva also addresses topics like abandonment, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and seasonal mood changes. She asks practical questions about daily routines and what a reasonable next step would look like.
