About Randee
Randee Olive is a licensed social worker in Kansas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She brings 19 years of experience and focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier. Many come for help with relationship concerns, grief, trauma, parenting strain, or problems with sleep and eating.
Randee also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and identity issues within the LGBT community.
Background and approach
Her sessions are straightforward and person-focused. She listens first to understand what matters most, then suggests approaches that match a person's goals. Sessions often include skill practice, emotion regulation tools, and clearer communication strategies to apply between meetings.
Randee mixes several evidence-informed approaches to meet individual needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based work to examine close relationships. Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered methods also appear when they fit the situation.
Over 19 years she has worked with people facing trauma, chronic stress, caregiving burdens, and major life transitions. That background informs how she paces change and supports coping in the moment. Her Kansas license is listed as KS LSCSW and she also holds an Arizona LCSW credential.
Sessions are offered in English and are available in several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The goal is practical progress: clearer choices, stronger coping, and better daily routines.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Randee often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients clarify values and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying what matters most and taking action toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions. That work helps people understand triggers, improve communication, and build more stable connections when that is a goal. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for a full-session conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to practice skills in daily life and to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
