About Treneva
Treneva Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain after changes in work, relationships, health, or life direction. Treneva helps with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions about life purpose.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. That includes client-centered conversations that let the person lead what matters most. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice and manage strong feelings in the moment.
Treneva also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel ambivalent. Elements of psychodynamic therapy appear when exploring how past experiences continue to affect present choices. Her approach blends these methods to focus on what a person wants to change and how to begin doing it.
She has training from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, with both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. Recent clinical work has focused on adults living with chronic illness, and she has experience helping adults across a range of life transitions. The description above reflects the methods she commonly uses in sessions.
People considering talking about life purpose or career changes can expect practical conversation, goal-focused strategies, and short exercises to try between visits. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and perspectives. Online sessions using this approach let the client guide topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This helps when someone is unsure which direction to take and needs to sort priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework to try between meetings, useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing. These practices can be introduced in a session and practiced between meetings to support stress and emotional management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods, adapt strategies, and choose what fits the person’s goals and daily routine. That collaborative process helps refine which techniques are most helpful over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the day. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the first match and plan sessions that integrate with everyday life.
