About Randall
Randall McBride is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, and phobias. He focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions center on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

Background and approach
His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University. Over the years he has worked with people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction, and major life transitions. He aims to leave sessions with usable strategies rather than just talk.
In session he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking and build values-driven action. He also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past connections shape today's relationships. The approach is straightforward and focused on real-life changes.
Randall emphasizes measurable coping skills for anger, compulsions, guilt and shame, and intimacy-related concerns. He can guide someone through the practical steps of reducing avoidance and facing fears in manageable ways. The tone is respectful, direct, and centered on helping each person regain more calm and control in daily life.
Evidence-informed approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them, while teaching ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and phobias. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and help people build healthier ways of relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions may shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper conversations and behavioral practice, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat and texting suit brief check-ins or homework support. These options offer flexibility and let clients use the format that fits their day-to-day life.
