About Thea

Thea Cristwell-Butler, LPC, LMHC, brings 14 years of counseling experience to her work with individuals, families, and small groups. She holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Webster University and is pursuing a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling at Liberty University. Her professional credentials - LPC and LMHC - indicate that she is a licensed counselor trained to provide mental health care and therapeutic support across the lifespan.

She primarily integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, and narrative methods to help clients make practical changes and reframe difficult experiences. Over her career she has worked in non-profit agencies, schools, and community settings, supporting children, adolescents, and adults. She enjoys collaborating with clients in individual sessions as well as family and small group formats.

Thea has helped people address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, mood disorders, and challenges with coping skills. She focuses on helping clients stabilize emotions, organize thoughts, and shift behavior toward healthier patterns. Those facing difficult transitions or persistent stress can expect a calm, goal-oriented approach aimed at restoring balance and increasing everyday functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and helping clients find their own solutions; it supports self-exploration and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical strategies and homework - it is effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skill development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thea works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that feel like the best fit. This shared planning helps ensure therapy is relevant and sustainable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location.
