About Raymond
Raymond Butts is an LPC with 30 years of experience in counseling and education. He brings a calm, client-centered style to sessions and focuses on helping people regain confidence and manage everyday challenges like stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. He works in English and is based in Arizona.
Raymond began his career as an elementary special education teacher in the early 1980s and earned a Master of Education in Counselor Education in 1989 from the University of Arkansas. He spent many years working in Alaska as a teacher, itinerant school counselor, and village school principal, then returned to work with young children in Arkansas before shifting into military and family life counseling.
Over three decades Raymond has supported people facing trauma, grief, addiction, mood disorders, and caregiver stress. He uses an approach that centers the person in the room rather than directing them, and he often blends practical, goal-focused techniques when a quick plan is helpful. This combination guides work on coping skills, managing emotions, and building stronger self-worth.
Sessions typically involve listening first, then creating small, achievable steps toward the client’s goals. Raymond draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused ideas when those tools fit the situation. He also has experience with trauma-focused approaches for people dealing with past abuse or severe stress.
