Background and approach
Her background includes work in hospice providing end-of-life and bereavement support. She has also worked in schools with children, teens, parents, and families, gaining experience with young people and family dynamics. These settings shaped her skill at helping people through big transitions.
Randi has experience at a community clinic serving transitional youth who had to cut ties with their families, and she has provided therapy in independent practice with couples. That range gave her experience with relationship repair, separation, and identity development. She uses client-centered methods to build goals together.
She also draws on approaches that focus on how people talk about their stories and how couples communicate. Randi aims to meet each person where they are and help them move toward healthier connections and greater self-understanding.
How Randi's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by hearing the client's experience and following their lead to set goals. It helps people who want a collaborative, respectful space to think through relationship and identity concerns. The Gottman Method focuses on how couples communicate and offers specific exercises to reduce conflict and strengthen connection, useful for couples or partners looking to improve day-to-day interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Randi will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then recommend methods that fit those goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so techniques match what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
