Sat surrounded by thin plastic bags stuffed with her children's clothes, she says she can't help but worry about what she's left behind.

I found the line in BBC News. Is it right here to say-"she can't help but worry" as so far I know it is right to say either "can't help worrying or can't but worry"?
