Daniel Schmidt is serving as an intern with FCS as he completes the final stages of earning his master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. After graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, Daniel served in the U.S. Air Force. He then moved to Athens and has worked for the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government for 15 years. He hopes to use his professional training in the mental health field, combined with his experience serving the country and local community, to work with veterans and first responders. Let's welcome Dan to the FCS family!

Carolina Butler earned her MSW from the University of Georgia, where she also completed her BA in Sociology and minor in Human Services. She works with kids, teens, and adults, and especially enjoys supporting clients navigating neurodivergence (primarily OCD, ADHD, and Autism), trauma and grief, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. By incorporating elements of play therapy, expressive arts, CBT, and DBT, she strives to make therapy accessible and meaningful for each client. Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, creative, and rooted in the belief that healing begins when we are met exactly where we are — without judgment and with space to imagine what's possible. Outside of the therapy room, Carolina finds joy in making art, writing poetry, and hanging out with her two cats. Please welcome Carolina Butler to the FCS family.

Abigail previously interned at Project Safe, Athens’ local domestic violence shelter and awareness center, and at Family Counseling. Her therapeutic framework is shaped by her social work background, in particular the principles of client self-determination, unconditional positive regard, acceptance, honesty, and the importance of human relationships. Abigail is in the process of obtaining her LMSW. Welcome to our new employee and former intern, Abigail.
