About Shantel
Shantel Butler offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by mood struggles and relationship stress. She meets individuals where they are and focuses on clear, doable steps to reduce anxiety, manage depressive episodes, and handle family or relationship conflicts.

Background and approach
Her work covers mood disorders including bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and broader anxiety and stress. She also helps people who feel stuck by loneliness, shame, or difficulty forgiving themselves or others. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving.
Conversations often include looking at patterns in relationships, attachment styles, and communication habits. She supports people during life transitions such as divorce or big changes in roles and responsibilities. Shantel aims to create an inclusive space for a wide range of identities and spiritual perspectives.
She focuses on building skills people can use outside the therapy hour, like clearer communication and ways to manage intense emotions. The work moves at the client’s pace and centers the person’s goals. If someone is considering therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain, Shantel offers steady support and straightforward guidance to help them move forward.
Practical approaches for mood and relationship change
Shantel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce avoidance and anxiety over time. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people spot repeated dynamics, try new ways of communicating, and set clearer boundaries to improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting those methods as progress is made. This helps keep the work relevant and focused on what the client wants to change.
