More about me

Licensing: MS, Ed.S, LPC Years in Practice: 12 State: Arkansas

I am a licensed counselor in Arkansas with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, psychodynamic, and Gestalt counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Allen is so very helpful and allows enough space in our session so I can speak freely and honestly.

Excellent

Allen Busby has been very helpful and compassionate during my grief journey.

Allen is incredibly attentive, and is very easy to connect with. He has been very helpful with my therapy.

Allen Busby is a wonderful person and a great therapist. He’s very attentive to his patients and really seems to care. He is very warm, and it’s so easy to talk to him. I 100% recommend him. He’s helped me through my depression and anxiety.

Allen is great at what he does! He really got to know me so he could learn how best to help me. He stays on my side but stays real with me. He is great during session, but he always checks in on me through messages in between sessions.

Great!

Allen Busby has been the most positive and helpful person for me. I sincerely appreciate the fact that he is kind and encouraging - and not judgemental - in dealings with me.

Working with Allen has been wonderful! He’s patient, understanding and always a wealth of knowledge to help me work through whatever I need when I need it.

What can I say about Allen Busby? He is calm and caring, attentive with helpful advice. He is funny and an overall joy to speak with. Having done plenty of online therapy in the past I've only worked with a couple of therapists who I can say this about. I never feel like I'm bothering him, or not worth his time. I feel heard when I speak with him and appreciate his candor.

Great knowledgeable person. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Allen Busby is someone I have confidence in and trust that he is there to help. I believe that he has my best interest at heart. I am indeed very thankful for this.

Knows all the right things to say, or will just listen to you. Allen is instant comfort

Of the few sessions I’ve had with Allan so far, I have really appreciated his insight into the things we have been discussing. And he always has great resources to send me to read through and interact with in between our sessions. It’s only been a few sessions, but I look forward to working with him more to help set me on a path to better manage my anxiety and depression.

Allen is great to work with, and I am so happy to have been connected with him! I enjoy his style and I come out of our sessions eager for the next. He takes the time to make sure he understands me, and makes sure I understand him. Very easy to talk to.

Brilliant therapy companion. Turning into something of a mentor in many ways, helping me find my own right way and never telling me what to do

Allen is such a supportive therapist and has helped me get through some of the toughest times of my life. I don't know what I'd do without him. He is such a caring, compassionate and empathetic person who truly cares about one's needs and always offers valuable insight to help move forward. I could not be happier that I have chosen him and could not recommend him as a therapist enough!

my experience with Allen was short, a month, but the impact I had afterwards was game-changing, I am constantly remember things he said

Allen Busby is very conscientious - pays attention and is someone I feel I can count on to be his best at every session.

I feel that I'm really progressing towards something with Allen, rather than hiding from my problems. Allen is helping me with through my emotional blocks, and understand myself.

Allen is a star, a true gentleman and really quick to build rapport, he understands me and knows my problems and my goals. He’s making a difficult journey much easier for me and I can’t thank him enough.

I very much appreciate having Allen Busby as my therapist. It's been extremely helpful having someone that has been there for me to talk to that I felt listened to my perspective, not just heard my words. Sometimes there's not anything that needs to be done other than to vent, or to just feel like someone is listening and actually cares about how I feel about things - without me feeling guilty for sharing it. Sometimes others are too close to a situation, or have too much of their own story to be able to see beyond their own journey to be able to help me with mine. A Therapist like Allen Busby makes all the difference. He is encouraging. When I am overwhelmed, he helps me find ways to get through, up and over the mountain. I feel like I've come a very long way from where I was when I first began with this program. Thank you!

I only have used Betterhelp for an initial 4 weeks because traveling afterwards would have gone in the way of talking to Allen regularly. But Allen helped me understand my own thoughts a bit better with regards to an intense break-up I was going through. Though I am not back at my previous self, Allen definitely helped me stabilize with his energetic readings of the situation, reflections and mirroring what I was saying. It helped to get a bit more of a realistic view on the situation and get back to what I wanted. Thanks!

Allen is a very passionate, understanding and supporting therapist. He did a great job breaking up my inner pain and provide different view points to work it out. I certainly recommend him.

Great thorough therapist. really listens and curates impactful exersizes.

Therapy with Allen was really helpful to make me consider some elements of my life I had set aside. Allen is tremendously considerate but will let you know if something is worth digging or not. He knows his stuff and I highly recommend trying him out !

If I'm honest, I was apprehensive about using better help in general but my experience of therapy so far with Allen has been life changing. He is incredibly dedicated, skilled, supportive and understanding. I would highly recommend him as a therapist.

Empathetic and supportive while encouarging me to challenge my own limits, thoughts and patterns. Highly recommended.

Allen Busby has been very helpful. He's keenly aware of what's needed to alleviate my issues and help me work through them. I appreciate having someone ask, "How are you feeling today?" and truly, honestly mean it. I sincerely appreciate the effort he makes to help me be the best I can be. These are trying times, to be sure! It's a huge comfort having someone in my corner.

Allen helps me to iron out confusing and negative thoughts in my mind. He empowers me to use the skills I'm learning to make work-life and home-life more productive, more meaningful and more enjoyable. I'm more confident and more hopeful since starting counselling with Allen.

Allen is an exceptional counsellor, who goes out of his way to support and comfort his clients, while offering very helpful, practical tips and strategies, tailored to individual needs, for one to achieve their goals. Most of all he is very compassionate, and takes the time to truly listen to and validate individual concerns. I would highly recommend him!

I appreciate having a counselor that is encouraging and has an understanding of my situation. It helps that our personalities are similar. Thank you for matching us up so well.

Allen is a fabulous communicator who takes the time to listen to me and engage with what I’m saying, as well as offer direct support or advice. I can’t always talk but he’s flexible and goes the extra mile in his follow up.

Allen is so quick to build rapport, even a few weeks in I feel safe and supported sharing anything from deepest concerns to superficial annoyances. He always treats me with respect and let’s the conversation flow. He validates my concerns non-judgementally and celebrates my successes when I tell him I see my progress in action! Everyone should have an Allen.
