About Treneva
Treneva Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
She favors approaches that involve clear, goal-oriented work. Treneva uses client-centered methods to listen and set collaborative aims. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice feelings without reacting immediately.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and a long career in the helping professions. She has experience with adults who have chronic illness and with younger people earlier in her career. That history shapes how she approaches stress, grief, and complex life changes.
In sessions she blends brief solution-focused steps with deeper psychodynamic reflection when it fits the client's goals. Motivational Interviewing is used for conversations about change, such as addressing addictions or improving sleep and routines. Work is practical and paced to what the person can manage between meetings.
People who want straightforward tools for handling anger, impulsivity, or persistent resentment will find concrete skills and reflective moments in her approach. The emphasis is on manageable practices - small experiments, clearer communication, and steady behavior change.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and joint goal-setting. In practice this means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and then shape goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people test small behavior changes and track results between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention practices to notice anger and reduce impulsive reactions without judging the feeling.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that fit their goals, whether that means short problem-solving steps, habit-focused CBT exercises, or reflective psychodynamic conversations. The plan can change as the client learns what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain consistency with sessions and practice new skills between meetings.
