Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Randell often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems. This approach invites clients to tell their story, notice recurring themes, and try different ways of understanding difficult events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage addictions or sleep issues.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as needed. Together you decide what helps most, and progress is checked along the way rather than assumed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and different time zones.
