About Shantel
Shantel Butler, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or major life changes. She offers straightforward support for panic attacks, relationship strain, family conflict, and recurring low mood. Shantel writes with warmth and aims to make the first appointment feel doable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps that clients can use between meetings. Her practice centers on compassion and cultural responsiveness, and she welcomes people from a range of backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQ+ individuals and older adults.
Shantel often works on improving communication, repairing attachment patterns, and reducing the intensity and frequency of panic and social anxiety symptoms. She also helps people process trauma, grief, guilt, and shame, and supports those facing divorce, separation, or questions about life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She listens for strengths and habits that already help, then builds on them with clear strategies clients can try. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded so clients leave with a next step.
Shantel encourages anyone curious about therapy to reach out and take the first small step. Starting begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Shantel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach involves teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks, such as grounding exercises and stepwise exposure to feared situations to lower reactivity over time. Another approach focuses on improving communication and attachment patterns by identifying unhelpful interaction habits and practicing new ways of relating that reduce conflict and isolation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose techniques to try, adjust them based on progress, and decide what feels most helpful as therapy continues.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexible scheduling that can fit around work or family obligations. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to continue momentum between in-person visits when that suits the client's needs.
