DeBrica Butler, LPC

DeBrica Butler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to trauma and addiction. She also supports people facing intimacy and parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and treats each person as the expert on their life.

Butler focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a person's life. Her approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and DBT ideas to help with emotions and behavior.

Clients can expect clear conversations about goals and specific skills to try between sessions. She uses conversation and structured exercises to address communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and patterns tied to anger or low self-esteem. She also works with people dealing with divorce, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship concerns.

Her background spans more than a decade of practicing counseling in Georgia. As an LPC she brings experience helping people navigate life changes, build self-love, and cope with multicultural concerns. She values practical change that fits a person's daily life.

Sessions emphasize respect and steady progress. Butler aims to help clients leave with simple strategies to manage symptoms and improve communication. Work in therapy is paced to each person's needs and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions; this approach helps people who need a supportive space to think through decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it tends to work well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, including grounding, distress tolerance, and communication strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust plans over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, client-centered listening, DBT techniques, or a mix that serves the client best.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when convenient, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and keep continuity when life is changing.
