Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley

Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He brings five years of licensed practice to work that began in ministry and community programs. Randy focuses on practical change and helps people tackle issues like stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, addiction, grief, anger, and parenting concerns.

Randy studied business at Biola University and completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy at Touro University after earlier graduate work in theology. He has worked in community clinics, substance use treatment settings, a state hospital, and in jail programs. His background also includes roles as a pastor and a camp director, where he developed teaching and curriculum skills.

His style is goal-oriented and client-centered. He uses clear steps to set goals together and to notice patterns of thinking and behavior. When patterns shift, emotions often change too. Randy emphasizes taking responsibility and facing fear as part of forward progress.

In sessions he draws on solution-focused ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and existential themes to build awareness and practical skills. He also uses Gottman-informed methods when relationship issues arise and integrates trauma-informed strategies from past training. Randy aims to help people develop concrete coping skills for everyday life.

People who prefer a direct, collaborative approach tend to fit well with his style. He works with individuals who want both insight and hands-on steps for dealing with anger, relationship problems, addictive behaviors, and life transitions.

Approaches that shape online work and expectations

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most. It helps people who want a collaborative, respectful space to sort out feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes through clear exercises and practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of reacting cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then choose methods together. That cooperative process helps shape a plan that fits the client's life and aims.

Confirm the specific online session options before you book because the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy week, and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits someone, or for sessions that focus on skill practice and homework between meetings. Licensed professionals tailor these practical benefits to each person's situation.
