Background and approach

She also uses talk-based exploration to uncover patterns from the past. Randye combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her address current symptoms and the life patterns that keep them coming back.

She may suggest simple relaxation or grounding practices when they fit the situation. She has particular experience with parenting challenges, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and grief after loss. She also helps with sleep problems, social anxiety, phobias, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

People struggling with isolation, life transitions, or finding purpose often seek her perspective. Randye uses straightforward language and avoids clinical labels in session. She works with each person to build a plan that matches their goals and daily life.

Her aim is to make therapy practical, understandable, and focused on steps people can take now.

How Randye’s approaches translate to online therapy

Randye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend ways to proceed. That plan can change over time as short-term goals are met or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and direct conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-type work, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle caregiving responsibilities, or keep continuity during moves and life transitions.
