Caleb Buttenhoff, LPCC

Caleb Buttenhoff is a Minnesota licensed professional counselor clinical candidate (LPCC) with three years of formal professional experience and eight years in the mental health field. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, and struggles with addiction. Caleb emphasizes practical steps and personal strengths when someone first reaches out for help.

He sees the person as the expert on their own life. Caleb listens for what already works and builds on those strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and daily skills that can reduce overwhelm and improve focus and mood.

Caleb draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like substance use, difficulty concentrating, and low motivation. He offers straightforward strategies to manage anxious thoughts, handle cravings, and improve self-confidence. Conversations tend to be direct, supportive, and goal oriented.

He also helps people talk through communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and relationship concerns such as jealousy or infidelity. Caleb works with fatherhood issues and matters specific to men and first responders when these come up in sessions.

When someone is ready to begin, Caleb encourages a first step of signing up and completing a short matching questionnaire to find the right fit. From there scheduling proceeds according to availability and the therapist and client set practical, realistic goals together.

How Caleb Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Caleb works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and small changes. One common approach emphasizes practical skill building for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, activity planning, and thought-challenging exercises to reduce worry and lift mood. Another approach targets addiction and impulse control with strategies for coping with cravings, identifying triggers, and developing step-by-step plans to manage urges and prevent relapse.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Caleb will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit your situation. Together you will try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and goal focused.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing meetings during breaks or at convenient times. Different session formats may be available, but the therapist's profile does not specify which ones are offered; please confirm current session options before booking. The focus online is the same as in person - practical skills, regular check ins, and small steps that build toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
