About Randell
Randell Gudgel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. He meets clients where they are and works at a steady, practical pace.
His style is direct and collaborative. He listens for strengths and habits that can be built on. Together with each client he picks approaches that fit the problem and the person.
Background and approach
Sessions aim for clear steps people can try between meetings. Randell draws from cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses existential and mindfulness ideas to help people find meaning and steady their attention.
Narrative techniques are used when people want to reframe their story and see new options. He has helped people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. He also supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns and coping with life changes.
Randell offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. He works with individuals and couples, and takes both insurance and personal pay depending on the arrangement. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
How these approaches translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT look at specific thought patterns and practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits. Exercises and short experiments are often assigned between sessions to test new ways of coping.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation. In remote sessions this can mean brief guided practices, check-ins on daily routines, and building short habits that make days steadier.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That choice is revisited as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings and share notes when schedules are tight. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life without long commutes.
