About Raymond
Raymond Butts is an LPC with three decades of counseling and education experience. He draws on a client-centered style to guide conversations, helping people talk through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and other pressing concerns. His manner is steady and practical, aimed at making next steps feel manageable.
He began his career as an elementary special education teacher in the early 1980s and earned a Master of Education in Counselor Education from the University of Arkansas in 1989. He spent many years working in Alaska schools, including roles as a teacher, itinerant school counselor, and village school principal. Those years shaped his respect for listening and for meeting people where they are.
After returning from Alaska he continued school-based counseling and later moved into military and family life counseling. His background includes long-term work with children, teachers, and community programs, and three decades of direct practice in education and counseling settings.
In sessions he uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies. He aims to help people spot patterns, test small changes, and build skills that reduce symptoms and support daily functioning. He also draws on trauma-focused tools when past events are part of the problem.
