About Randy
He focuses on common stressors like addiction, relationship struggles, grief, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. He also helps people facing divorce and separation, questions of forgiveness, end-of-life planning and finding life purpose. Sessions aim to be respectful, sensitive, and tailored to each person’s needs.
Randy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to help change unhelpful patterns. He will shape conversations and exercises to the issue at hand, whether it is grief, sleep, or coping after a relationship change. The work is practical and goal-oriented while staying attentive to emotion.
His approach is collaborative: he listens, suggests clear strategies, and adjusts plans based on what helps. He draws on long experience in pastoral care alongside clinical practice to offer a steady presence during difficult moments.
People who choose to begin can expect focused, everyday language, short-term tools when useful, and room to process deeper losses over time. He encourages taking the first step and will work with each person to build a plan that fits their life.

How CBT and collaborative care translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and goal-setting to change patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, sleep trouble, or addictive behaviors. Sessions often include practical homework and brief skill practice between meetings.Alongside CBT, the therapist's pastoral background provides a listening presence and attention to meaning and life purpose. That experience can help when working through grief, forgiveness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, or the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. The tone is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what methods to try and when to change course.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult. A therapist will help match the approach and the practical session style to your needs and goals.
