About Raymond
Raymond Butts is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in counseling and education. He begins by listening carefully and letting each person lead the pace of their work together. His way of working centers on understanding the person's goals and building on their strengths.
He trained in client-centered therapy, which guides how he talks with people and supports change. He also uses cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques when they fit a person’s needs. That mix helps him address problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction in practical ways.
His career started in schools as an elementary special education teacher and moved into roles such as itinerant school counselor and village school principal in Alaska. He later worked as a kindergarten counselor and then served as a military and family life counselor. Those roles shaped his focus on caregivers, first responders, and people facing grief or major life changes.
In sessions he tends to keep things straightforward and goal-oriented. He helps people break problems into manageable steps and try concrete strategies between meetings. He also supports people coping with chronic stress, burnout, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, and mood disorders.
Raymond works from Arizona and conducts sessions in English. He accepts clients internationally. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with his practice and arrange sessions.
How Raymond’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building a trusting working relationship. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals, which can work well in remote sessions where discussion and reflection are central.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) adds practical tools to the conversation. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces exercises to try between meetings, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Raymond will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to use based on their goals and preferences. He adjusts methods as needed so sessions stay useful and focused on what matters most to the client.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins on difficult days. Different formats also let people choose quieter or lower-bandwidth options when that helps them engage more consistently.
