Find calm, regain control, and move forward with confidence.
At Butterfly Effect Counseling LLC, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy—both in-person in Summerville and Telehealth across South Carolina—for individuals, children (7+), teens, and families navigating stress, burnout, and overwhelm.
Why Stress Awareness Matters
Stress isn’t “just part of life.” Left unchecked, it can impact your mood, sleep, relationships, school or work performance, and long-term health. Recognizing the signs early—and getting the right support—helps you feel better faster and build lasting resilience.
Common Signs of Stress:
Care You Can Trust
Clinical excellence, steady support, and a plan that fits your life. Our licensed counselors use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Trauma‑Informed Care, and Family Systems to address both immediate stress and its root causes.

Flexible options
In-person in Summerville (near Nexton, Cane Bay, Knightsville) and secure Telehealth statewide
Family-friendly care
Support for kids, teens, and adults—because stress affects the whole system
Personalized treatment plans
Clear goals, measurable progress, and skills you can use at home, school, and work
Warm, professional guidance
A comfortable space where you can share openly and heal steadily
