About Randall
Randall MacKendrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He works with individuals who feel stuck by life changes, low self-esteem, or trouble connecting with others. His manner is compassionate and direct, aiming to help people feel understood and move forward.
Randall focuses on practical steps that build emotional resilience. He listens to each person's story and then helps set realistic, achievable goals. Sessions can include talking through difficult feelings, practicing clearer communication, and finding ways to cope with everyday stressors.
His approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. That means he pays attention to what matters to the client now, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and also considers past patterns that influence present life. He uses solution-focused techniques to identify immediate next steps and systemic thinking to spot patterns in relationships.
Randall has worked for decades in South Carolina and brings experience helping with abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, commitment and control concerns, and challenges like isolation, guilt, and forgiveness. He supports people dealing with divorce or separation and those questioning life purpose.
He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs, balancing challenge with support. If someone wants steady, experienced guidance through emotional pain or major life shifts, he offers an approachable, goal-oriented way forward.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions focus on the client's concerns, values, and goals while the therapist offers empathy and reflection to deepen self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress by teaching tools for managing thoughts and trying new behaviors between sessions.
Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings. It can be useful for attachment, abandonment concerns, and repeated relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then shape the plan collaboratively. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods as needed so the work fits the person's life and aims.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work through life transitions without interrupting day-to-day routines.
