Shurondae Butler , LPC

Shurondae Butler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on women's issues and supports young adults and individuals coping with caregiver strain, isolation, and panic attacks. Her tone is calm and encouraging, and she aims to make the first step feel doable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they really feel. Sessions are intended to be direct and practical. She listens first, then helps people set small goals they can use between meetings.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other approaches. That means conversations focus on the client's experience while also identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used to build coping skills and notice progress.

With 12 years of experience as an LPC, she brings steady support to people navigating grief, mood shifts, or social anxiety. She also pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns when relevant. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Sessions can include talk-based strategies, skill building, and short practical assignments between meetings. Many clients find this mix helpful for improving communication, carving out self-love, and reducing panic symptoms over time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting the client where they are. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects feelings and priorities so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT works well over video or phone because it uses clear, structured exercises and short homework tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean blending mindfulness practice with solution-focused steps or trying different techniques until something fits.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls are useful for full conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send quick updates, journal thoughts, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with busy days or caregiving responsibilities.
