More about Kay
- 27 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 27 years of experience in helping people to effectively address life’s challenges. My areas of expertise include foster care/adoptions, depression, anxiety, anger management, stress management, family relationships, family mediation, juvenile mediation and job related difficulties. I have provided care in private practice and in- and out-patient hospital and clinic settings. I have experience in group facilitation for the emotionally ill as well as for sheltered women and those with medical diagnoses.
I am particularly interested in the development of self-empowerment. This means identifying and drawing on our individual strengths. It is easy to fall into the pits of weaknesses and that is where we often get stuck. I am more intrigued with the beauty of strength and making that work for us.
I engage in Cognitive Behavior, Solution Based and Emotional Based therapies, to name a few.
I see myself as a work partner with my clients. I care about what is important to each one as he/she navigates to resolve concerns.
My education was achieved in the Washington, DC area with a Bachelor of Sociology and a Master of Social Work. I also possess a Post-Graduate Certification in Marriage and Family Therapy. Although I grew up in the south, I have lived many years in California and Northern Virginia. As a result, I have learned a great deal about managing point of view differences.
I hope to have the opportunity to work with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kay is incredible. She has become someone I deeply trust. She listens intently and seems to ask just the right questions at just the right moment. I am so thankful for her!
Wow , she was very attentive , intellegent understanding it was an incredible session
Kay was great and has helped me in a short time
Kay has already helped me to see how far I have come, helped me to find ways to help me manage my anxieties, I feel listened to and respected.
Kay is the calming voice of reason that I didn’t know I was missing in my life. In a matter of weeks I went from crippling panic attacks and debilitating depression, to being able to breathe, having only a low level of manageable anxiety, and dreaming of the future. Of course everything comes in waves, but Kay has been the listening ear that I needed, knew the right questions to ask, and gave me the coping tools that made all the difference. I felt as if she was the loving, non judgmental, fully supportive mother figure I always craved. I had tried counseling in the past and always felt like it was lacking, so I was surprised to find myself excitedly looking forward to our calls, and jotting down notes of things I wanted to share with Kay. 10/10 recommend Kay and better help if you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or marital issues!!
I've seen several counselors in person and non of them have worked for me. Kay Butler is great! She is able to listen & support me without any bias, all while giving helpful advice. I strongly recommend her as a counselor.
