About Treneva
Treneva Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel steadier at home and work. Her approach centers on clear goals and steady encouragement during difficult moments.
Treneva uses straightforward strategies drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. She helps people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way, then tries small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are also part of her toolbox to calm the body and attention. She brings five years of clinical experience as an LCSW and a longer history in the helping professions. That background includes work with adults facing chronic illness and other persistent stressors.
Her training includes both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. In sessions she balances compassion with accountability. Conversations stay focused on what the person wants to change and what will work day to day.
She offers practical techniques and checks in on progress so plans can be adjusted when needed. Treneva also addresses relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and identity-related stressors. Additional focuses include issues like abandonment, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns.
She practices in Texas and works in English.
How Treneva Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and strengths. Sessions spend time listening and shaping goals that matter to the individual, which helps guide each visit toward useful steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. The therapist and client identify small changes to test between sessions, which can reduce anxiety, depressive patterns, and unhelpful behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These brief exercises are useful for stress, panic, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or try brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
