About Shantel
Shantel Butler is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and mood disorders including bipolar disorder. She also lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus.
Shantel helps people who feel stuck by talking through what’s happening now and what they want to change. She focuses on practical steps and clearer communication to reduce overwhelm. Sessions involve straightforward conversation, noticing patterns, and trying small experiments between meetings.
She pays attention to how attachment and communication affect daily life. That looks like mapping relationship patterns, naming control issues, and practicing different ways of asking for needs. For people dealing with divorce, separation, or long-term grief and guilt, she breaks down the next steps into manageable choices.
Shantel supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and the isolation that can follow mental health struggles. She also works on self-acceptance, forgiveness, and finding a sense of purpose when life feels off track. The work blends problem-solving with building clearer habits and responses.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She aims to respect each person’s background and beliefs, including those exploring faith or secular paths and members of the LGBTQ+ community. If you want to try therapy, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Shantel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach she applies focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behavior, then testing small, manageable changes to reduce symptoms like panic or social anxiety. This method helps people see what works in everyday life. Another commonly used approach concentrates on relationships and attachment. It looks at how earlier patterns show up now and teaches new ways to communicate and set boundaries that lessen tension and isolation.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what’s been tried before. That means checking in early and adjusting methods if something isn’t helping.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments during work breaks or travel. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats available before booking, since the current biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find online sessions help them practice skills in real life and keep momentum between meetings.
