About Randall

Randall Allen is a licensed therapist who brings a practical, person-focused approach to counseling. He holds a Master of Counseling degree with High Distinction and has over 10 years of professional experience. Randall aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He encourages small, manageable changes that help people feel more satisfied in daily life.

Randall blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy with elements of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy. He uses these methods to help people reduce stress and anxiety, manage anger, and navigate grief. He also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

His background includes work across Arizona and New Mexico, and he draws on life experience when it can help move sessions forward. He helps people address relationship tensions, communication problems, commitment concerns, and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care. He also works with people facing fatherhood questions, caregiver stress, and issues around money and finances.

Randall emphasizes practical tools and clear steps. Sessions focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, and setting reachable goals. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients decide which changes matter most.

He encourages anyone considering counseling to take the first step, noting that asking for help is a sign of strength. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s start process to connect and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people name their goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies for changing patterns that cause distress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, actionable steps and progress toward specific goals, often useful for stress, communication problems, and financial decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative, with choices about techniques and pacing made together so the plan fits the client's life.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people practice skills between meetings and use tools the therapist suggests during sessions. Talk with the therapist during intake about how to shape the schedule and format so therapy fits everyday commitments.
