About Treneva

Treneva Butler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, trauma and related challenges. She also addresses issues such as parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and identity concerns for LGBT clients.

Her approach is practical and focused on what a client can do between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the client's priorities and on mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness.

In sessions she uses short-term, goal-focused work alongside longer conversations when needed. Motivational interviewing tools are used when motivation or behavior change is the focus. Psychodynamic ideas may inform how past experiences affect current patterns, always tied back to concrete steps a client can try.

Treneva earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and has a background in work with children, adolescents, and adults. Her recent practice has included supporting adults living with chronic illness.

She speaks English and practices in Texas as an LCSW. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so the match and logistics fit your needs.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered work and mindfulness techniques. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which suits short practice exercises between sessions. Client-centered work centers the conversation on the client’s priorities and goals, while mindfulness exercises give simple, in-session practices to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean emphasizing CBT skills for day-to-day coping, or spending more time on motivational interviewing when someone wants help making specific changes.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow focused skill practice, and make it easier to attend from different locations. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or parenting, and the ability to use in-session exercises that translate directly into daily routines.
