About Randall

Randall Kitchen is an LPC with 25 years of clinical experience who uses cognitive behavioral principles alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to help people make practical, measurable changes in their lives. He emphasizes collaboration, building on individual strengths, and addressing problems directly rather than concentrating on labels.

Background and approach

Randall treats each person as a whole, willing to explore spiritual concerns if the client wishes, and works to increase functioning and overall quality of life. His practice includes a long history of supporting people and families affected by substance misuse through individual, group, and family therapy.

He also addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, relationship and family dynamics, grief, trauma, intimacy and self-esteem issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Randall combines practical, skills-based methods with empathic listening to help clients set goals and move toward them.

Based in Texas, he brings a strengths-oriented, collaborative stance to therapy and draws on motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques when useful to bolster clients' motivation and emotional regulation. Randall works in English and offers multiple session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Randall draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood issues, and addictive behaviors. He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize empathic listening and the client’s own goals, creating space for people to explore values, motivation, and identity in a supportive way. Emotionally-focused ideas are used to deepen understanding of relational patterns and emotional responses, which can be helpful for people working on intimacy, communication, and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are shaped together, and methods may be combined or adjusted over time so clients can try different strategies and notice what helps them progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to attend regularly, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
