Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, thanks for taking some time to get to know me. I am Dr. Scott Butler. I am licensed in Louisiana and Arkansas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from LSU and a Master’s and Ph.D. in mental health counseling from the University of New Orleans. I’ve been offering counseling for over 30 years. I was married for 30 years and have three daughters; one is an attorney, one is a licensed professional counselor, working on her Ph.D. and my youngest is a junior in college.
I have worked in many different mental health settings including hospitals, crisis intervention hotlines, non-profit organizations, as a preferred provider for local and state agencies and over 20 years in adoption and foster care work. I have been deemed an expert witness in criminal and civil cases and have authored one novel, king cake baby.
I use a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach to counseling which is a goal-oriented treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. I generally do 45 minute sessions. If interested in working with me, please provide your full name and an emergency contact name and number as this is required to facilitate professional counseling.
Life can be difficult, right? Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we simply need someone to help guide us to a better place. I am a trained listener. I take in the information you provide and turn it back to you in a step by step approach to help you move beyond what brought you to me. Beginning this process with the right counselor helps you get better, faster.
I hope to be that counselor.

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can actually help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major advantage is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their needs and schedule, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to keep appointments and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they seek a different fit. For many people, virtual sessions offer a practical way to access consistent, goal-focused support without sacrificing quality of care.
