About
Raymond Butts is a licensed professional counselor and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with 30 years of experience spanning both counseling and education.
He began his career in the early 1980s as an elementary special education teacher and earned a Master of Education in Counselor Education from the University of Arkansas in 1989. That year he first traveled to Alaska as a long-term substitute teacher, working in the Bering Strait School District in Unalakleet.
He returned to Alaska a year later and, over an 11-year period, served as a teacher, an itinerant school counselor, and a village school principal within the district. He subsequently worked in two other Alaska school districts before retiring from work in Alaska in 2004.
After moving back to Arkansas he worked as a kindergarten counselor in a center serving 180 children and 18 teachers, and he fully retired in 2007. In 2009 he became a military and family life counselor and has been doing that for 10 years.
His treatment approach reflects both his formal training and his personal style. He was trained in CCT, which fits his preference for helping clients rather than directing them. He currently specializes in crisis and PTSD counseling with military members and their families.
He is licensed to practice counseling in Missouri and in Maine, and maintains professional credentials listed as MO LPC 2007014050 and ME LCPC CC6667.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy is often just as effective as traditional in-person treatment. A major benefit is flexibility - you can connect in the way that works best for your schedule and comfort level, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to keep continuity of care when life gets busy. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, switching therapists is an option. For many individuals, online sessions offer a practical, accessible route to consistent support and progress.How much experience does Raymond Butts have?
