LGBT therapists in Oklahoma

Hello, I’m Elizabeth Ashley Butler, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience in the mental health field and five years as a fully licensed therapist. My work is grounded in the belief that a strong and healthy client-therapist relationship is essential to successful outcomes in counseling. I see my role as a facilitator—creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space that fosters honesty, trust, healing, and personal growth.

I currently provide therapy to individuals, families, couples and adolescents from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I specialize in working with clients facing challenges related to trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, obesity, stress, life transitions, communication issues, workplace concerns, LGBTQ+ matters, and various mental health diagnoses.

Clinically, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs. My core modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Functional Family Therapy (FFT), along with other integrative techniques as appropriate.

From both personal and professional experience, I’ve come to understand that connection is foundational, acceptance is transformative, and meaningful change—while often challenging—is possible. Change can lead to healing, emotional strength, and a higher quality of life. It also opens the door to new opportunities and helps us break free from generational cycles that no longer serve us.

It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, self-awareness, and growth.

Welcome to True North Mental Health Counseling, LLC!

With over 10 years of clinical experience, I deliver high-quality online therapy tailored to meet you exactly where you are. I specialize in treating anxiety, PTSD, and depression through a collaborative virtual approach. I bring six years of experience supporting Veterans and a decade of leadership and clinical work to every session. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and supported. I tailor care to your needs and help you build practical tools, insight, and confidence so you can feel more grounded now and move toward the life you want.

My practice combines your personal expertise with proven methods, including:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Trauma-Informed Care

My background includes six years of dedicated service supporting Veterans, alongside a decade of advancing leadership roles and proven excellence in the clinical field. Together, we will safely build the practical tools and insights you need to confidently manage the present and achieve your future goals.

Think of me as your emotional co-pilot, helping you navigate whatever twists and turns life throws your way! I can help with a multitude of things: anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions and even general overwhelm (It's a thing!)

I am here to help you see things from different perspectives, challenge you, hold space for you and make you feel supported every step of the way. You deserve to feel like you can take up space and like you belong.

Welcome. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or questions about who you are and how you want to move through the world. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity concerns, family issues, grief and loss, stress, anger, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals and those exploring gender identity and transgender experiences. Many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, misunderstood, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you can feel accepted, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater self-awareness, healing, and personal growth. Therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and build a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here!

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I received my mater's degree from Stony Brook University in New York.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, postpartum concerns, family and relationship challenges, life transitions, divorce, and other emotional and behavioral difficulties.

I believe that therapy works best when you feel heard, understood and accepted.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and families. In therapy, I believe you deserve to feel heard and valued as you work toward your goals. I aim to maintain a safe, collaborative space where you're free to express yourself fully, explore the difficulties you've been carrying, and grow in ways guided by your values and strengths.

I am trained in and provide Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Filial Therapy, and I’m a Registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.

I'm M.J. I am an affirming ally who will support you on your unique path. I have been licensed as a professional counselor since 2012; obtained a Master of Science degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University in 2007; worked with a variety of people in outpatient and social services settings.

If you’re here, chances are you’re carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and maybe a quiet sense that something needs to shift. You don’t have to keep doing it all the hard way.

My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on real-life change. Together, we’ll uncover the strengths you already have and build tools you can actually use—so you feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and more in control of your life.

You won’t just talk about your stress—you’ll learn how to manage it. You’ll leave our work together with a clear plan for self-care, stronger boundaries, and a deeper connection to what truly matters to you. My goal is for you to feel better, yes—but also to live better, with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment.
