Background and approach

He also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused therapy to set short-term, realistic goals. Sessions tend to focus on skills and steps people can try between meetings. Randall has worked with those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and addiction.

He also supports people facing intimacy challenges, self-esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and a range of life-stress concerns like money problems, caregiving strain, and isolation. He often helps clients untangle communication and commitment issues as well. He brings life experience into sessions when it helps move the work forward.

Randall emphasizes practical tools - small changes in thinking and behavior that add up over time. He encourages clients to set clear, achievable goals and tracks progress together. Randall practices in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English.

He notes that his schedule can vary due to other professional commitments, and he works with people who prefer straightforward, skills-based therapy.

How his approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space where a person can talk through what matters most. Online sessions use that same priority to help people feel heard and understood from a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches simple tools to shift unhelpful patterns. In an online setting CBT can be very practical - the therapist and client review patterns, set homework, and check progress between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, short-term goals and on what changes would make a difference right away. This approach pairs well with online work because it aims for clear next steps that clients can try between appointments.

Randall treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits the day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice skills between sessions.
