About Randall

Randall Allen is a licensed counselor who centers sessions on the client’s needs. He uses practical, conversational methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. Randall aims to make the first steps toward change feel clear and manageable.

He holds a Master of Counseling degree with High Distinction from Colorado Christian University and a Bachelor of Education from Northern Arizona University. Randall is licensed as an LPC and as an LMHC and has about 10 years of professional experience working in counseling roles. He practices in New Mexico and brings experience addressing addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.

Randall often uses Choice Theory and Reality Therapy ideas alongside Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions he focuses on building open, nonjudgmental conversation and practical tools clients can use between appointments. He sometimes shares brief personal experiences when it helps move a session forward.

Randall also lists adoption and foster care among his focus areas and can assist people facing caregiver stress, parenting concerns, divorce and separation, and fatherhood-related issues. He works on communication, money and commitment concerns, and problems tied to isolation or feeling empty.

His approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. He helps people identify small changes in thinking and behavior that add up over time. To begin, viewers are asked to follow the site’s process to match with him and schedule an initial session.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client feels and needs. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own solutions, which helps with relationship troubles, grief, and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and anger issues.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, doable changes and realistic goals. It helps people identify what’s already working and build brief strategies to move forward with stress, communication problems, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those aims. Decisions about techniques and pace are made together so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and homework between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal work to the online setting to keep progress moving forward.
