Dr Butts is a wonderful listener and counselor. She has gained my trust through her innate empathy and ability to listen closely. She’s not judgmental, she is truthful, compassionate and concerned. I highly recommend her.

I connected with Dr. Butts almost immediately. Then, the speed with which she picked up on my feelings about my mother just sealed the deal. She is a very perceptive person and has been very attentive and supportive.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
