About Ranleigh
Ranleigh McAdams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. She also supports those facing eating concerns, addiction challenges, gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ-related issues.
Ranleigh focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most to them. She encourages honest conversation and practical steps rather than lengthy labels.
Background and approach
Many clients come for help with relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, career strain, or coping after trauma and loss. Her work includes support around ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and the complex needs that come with hospice, end-of-life situations, and HIV/AIDS. She also offers guidance for people navigating non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships and parenting stresses.
Sessions are aimed at real-world coping and clearer decisions. Ranleigh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She listens first, then helps set goals and small, manageable steps toward them.
The focus is on useful tools you can try between sessions and honest check-ins about what’s working. Practices are offered in English. People who prefer remote options can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their life.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Brief descriptions of commonly used techniques can help you know what to expect. One approach focuses on building concrete coping skills and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. This method breaks problems into small steps and gives you tools to practice between sessions. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and abuse in a paced way so memories and reactions become easier to manage. It emphasizes safety, grounding, and gradual exposure to what feels difficult.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like an in-person visit when needed. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a no-camera option is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, timely check-ins and day-to-day support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while still working with a licensed professional.
