Fizza Butt

Fizza Butt

Therapist

Virtual • Houston, TX


I am a versatile mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages across Texas. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and bring an extensive dual background as both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified School Counselor (CSC). This unique combination allows me to expertly bridge the gap between school system dynamics and deep clinical healing.

I adopt a highly personalized approach to therapy, rejecting "one-size-fits-all" treatment. Instead, I use from a diverse therapeutic toolkit to tailor sessions entirely to each individual's needs. My core specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for restructuring unhelpful thought patterns, Play Therapy to help children process emotions naturally, and Trauma-Informed Care to provide a safe, structured space for healing.

My dual credentialing gives me a profound understanding of childhood development, student academic stressors, and school-based interventions. However, my clinical expertise extends far beyond the classroom, allowing me to successfully guide adults and families through life transitions, anxiety, and complex trauma. No matter the client's age, I am committed to meeting people exactly where they are on their mental health journey.

Johnthan Rivero Ramirez

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development, specializing in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling, I offer a culturally responsive, integrative, and systems-oriented approach to therapy and coaching. I work with teens 12+, adults, couples, and families who are ready to better understand what is happening in their lives and relationships—and begin creating meaningful change. Together, we explore the patterns influencing emotional well-being, communication, relationships, and personal growth while developing practical strategies that fit your unique needs.


I also support clients navigating sexual concerns, including sexual dysfunction, intimacy, and sexual well-being and pleasure, as well as the psychological and relational aspects of fertility challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, gain clarity about what may be keeping you stuck, and become more confident in moving forward. Through our work together, we can turn challenges into opportunities for growth, strengthen relationships and family systems, and build practical skills that you can continue using beyond the therapy room.
