Background and approach

Over his career he has supported people through grief, career transitions, intimacy-related worries, obsessive thoughts, phobias, and postpartum depression. He brings varied approaches to fit different concerns rather than a single method. His style is person-centered.

Clients help set goals and drive the process. He listens carefully and offers straightforward feedback and weekly assignments to practice new skills outside sessions. Randall draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and connection. Sessions aim to leave people with usable coping skills, short exercises, and a plan for the week.

Randall emphasizes gradual progress over time and adapts tools to each person’s life. He is based in Arizona and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Randall uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new daily habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on small changes in thinking and behavior you can practice between sessions to see tangible improvement.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking manageable steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings remain. This approach helps people accept difficult emotions while committing to activities that matter to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can work well for quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or travel while keeping therapeutic momentum.
