Welcome to the Counselor’s Corner area of the website! My name is Angie Butto and I am the School Counselor for Falls-Lenox and the ECC. I am excited to start another school year in Olmsted Falls. I have now worked for Olmsted Falls City Schools since August 2001. My first three years were as a School Psychologist and the remaining years have been as an Elementary School Counselor. Along with being a school counselor, I am a mother of two wonderful boys. This is a wonderful community and I enjoy working with your children and seeing them grow and learn.

What are school counselors?
School counselors help promote the academic, personal, social, and emotional development of the students. The primary focus of the school counselor at this level is prevention. I work with ALL students to help them develop basic life skills and help them have a successful school year.
What types of services are provided?
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is a one-on-one meeting with a student to discuss a problem, concern, or issue in a confidential setting. Individual counseling sessions are short-term and each session may last between 5-30 minutes. The focus is on the development of coping and strategy building. Psychotherapy is not a service provided by school counselors. Please feel free to contact me if you would like a list of outside counseling centers or you can access the list on the right side of this page under the "Parent and Student Resources" section.
Small Group Counseling
Small groups provide a wonderful way for students to meet new friends and develop positive coping skills in a safe and fun environment. Groups are offered on a needs basis and meet weekly for about 4-8 thirty minute sessions.
Classroom Guidance
Throughout the year the counselor visits all classrooms and teaches lessons that are developmentally appropriate and preventative in nature. These lessons often focus on helping students build good character.
