More about Randall

  • LMFT

I am licensed in Indiana with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. Many of my clients have struggled with relationships – relationships with children, parents, partners, self, jobs, or the world in which they live. I believe that people have been doing the best they know how even at their most troubled moment. Our job together is to help you find new ways of coping with life’s challenges. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I will respect you for the person you are and honor your values and beliefs. We will work together on the goals you set for treatment, capitalizing on your unique personal strengths.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
