Couples therapists in Norman, OK

Hello, I’m Elizabeth Ashley Butler, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience in the mental health field and five years as a fully licensed therapist. My work is grounded in the belief that a strong and healthy client-therapist relationship is essential to successful outcomes in counseling. I see my role as a facilitator—creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space that fosters honesty, trust, healing, and personal growth.

I currently provide therapy to individuals, families, couples and adolescents from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I specialize in working with clients facing challenges related to trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, obesity, stress, life transitions, communication issues, workplace concerns, LGBTQ+ matters, and various mental health diagnoses.

Clinically, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs. My core modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Functional Family Therapy (FFT), along with other integrative techniques as appropriate.

From both personal and professional experience, I’ve come to understand that connection is foundational, acceptance is transformative, and meaningful change—while often challenging—is possible. Change can lead to healing, emotional strength, and a higher quality of life. It also opens the door to new opportunities and helps us break free from generational cycles that no longer serve us.

It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, self-awareness, and growth.

It seems like life should be better than this - I have heard some version of this sentence from every client, couple, or family for more than two decades of counseling. They believe that life and relationships should function better and are trying to figure out how. The clients I have seen are struggling with relational dysfunction, anxiety, depression, grief, or the residue of trauma. Many of them feel lonely, confused, and hopeless about one or several issues within their story. Many of the stories are very hard and painful. Understandably, they all want to find a better way to live their lives and change the story.

I have studied far beyond the minimum so that I can genuinely help people create transformation in their lives and relationships. I don't just help them feel better today, but I give them systems that can work for a lifetime. Life can be better, as hundreds of former clients can confirm. I help people design a transformed life.

I recognize that for many, fundamental transformation feels inaccessible and unrealistic. Many of the clients that I have helped in the past thought the same thing. They now have a new story to tell themselves and others. Let's design your life transformation together.

I believe everyone has a story to tell and the power to write their own future. I have over ten years experience in the mental health field and have been a licensed therapist for five years. I work with all age groups and like to meet individuals where they are and walk with them through their journey to better mental health.

I believe that meaningful growth happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My practice is built on creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, discover strengths, and move toward lasting change.

As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and build a life worth celebrating.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families understand and resolve current challenges by exploring the long-standing patterns and perceptions that may be holding you back.

By integrating complementary therapy techniques, I provide a supportive space to work through difficult situations and move toward a more fulfilling future."
