About Randall
He frames people as whole beings - spirit, soul, and body - and will address spiritual concerns if the client chooses to include them. He prefers to focus on individuals rather than labeling them by diagnosis. His style is straightforward and collaborative, aiming to help people move past barriers and toward better daily functioning.
Randall has concentrated much of his work on addictions and men's issues. Over the past 25 years he has worked with people and their families affected by drug and alcohol problems, offering individual, group, and family therapy. He draws on that experience when helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strains.
He also works with a wide range of other concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family challenges, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life transitions. His approach emphasizes practical steps that people can try between sessions to see real change.
Clients looking for a respectful, values-aware clinician who focuses on strengths may find his direct style helpful. He invites people who want to take an active role in their healing to start a conversation and explore whether his way of working fits their needs.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports choices that fit the person's values and life. This approach can help with self esteem, relationship questions, and life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical skills and short exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, sleeping problems, and coping with stressful situations.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by identifying core emotions and communication cycles. It can be helpful when intimacy or recurring conflicts are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as different strategies are tried and refined together.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use spoken or written exercises and practice skills between appointments in real life, which can speed up progress without promising a specific outcome.
