About Randell
Randell Gudgel is an Oklahoma licensed professional counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate difficult transitions and persistent life challenges.
Background and approach
He draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor work to each person's strengths and situation, meeting clients where they are and collaborating to set practical goals. Gudgel emphasizes creating a therapeutic environment where clients can explore obstacles to moving forward, whether those involve mood, relationships, or coping with stress and grief.
His practice integrates conversational, skills-oriented, and reflective approaches to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, intimacy issues, self-esteem, trauma, sleep difficulties, career stress, and more. Clients can expect an individualized plan that combines problem-focused techniques with exploration of meaning and mindfulness practices when appropriate.
Services are available to people in Oklahoma and to international clients, and Randell works with a flexible mix of session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problems with coping and motivation.Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress reduction through attention practices and techniques that can help with anxiety, emotional reactivity, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve. This helps ensure the chosen strategies fit the person rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy or geographically distant lives. These formats support continuity of care, allow for varied modes of interaction depending on the work being done, and make regular scheduling more accessible for people with different routines and commitments.
