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!

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.

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.

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.

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
Written on Jul 12, 2022 after therapy with Allen for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and sleeping disorders
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!

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.
Written on Apr 13, 2022 after therapy with Allen for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
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!

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 !

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.
