Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Tulsa, OK


Specializing in anxiety, sex therapy, and trauma recovery. I hold a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology, am EMDR-trained, and am currently pursuing my Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. My work focuses on helping clients heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, and cultivate emotional and sexual well-being through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. Before becoming a therapist, I built a strong background in business, leadership, and process improvement, which now helps me bring clarity, structure, and empowerment into the therapy space. I use these strengths to help clients recognize their capabilities and move toward meaningful change.

I work with teenagers and adults, addressing anxiety, trauma, sexual concerns, women’s issues, and attachment challenges. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I strive to create a welcoming and affirming environment for every client.

Reaching out for support isn’t easy, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges—whether anxiety, grief, or the weight of past experiences—on your own. I’m honored to walk beside you on your path toward healing, growth, and self-understanding.

Elizabeth Butler

Elizabeth Butler

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Del City, OK


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. 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.
