Raymond Butts, LPC

Raymond Butts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience in counseling and education. He practices in Arizona and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addiction, and caregiving strain.

He began his career as an elementary special education teacher in the early 1980s. He earned a Master of Education in Counselor Education in 1989 from the University of Arkansas. Raymond spent many years working in Alaska schools as a teacher, itinerant school counselor, and village school principal before returning to Arkansas in 2004.

After a period working as a kindergarten counselor, he transitioned into military and family life counseling in 2009 and provided that support for ten years. His background combines classroom experience, school counseling, and community mental health work. This practical history informs how he approaches common life stresses and crisis situations.

His therapeutic style leans on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with use of Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques when appropriate. He prefers helping clients find their own solutions rather than directing them, and he commonly works on problem solving, coping skills, and managing intense emotions like anger.

Sessions focus on clear goals, realistic steps, and improving day-to-day functioning. He works in English and accepts international clients; session and subscription details vary by location, so prospective clients should confirm current arrangements before booking.
