Background and approach
Her work brings together client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are tailored so conversations and exercises meet each person’s needs. Mindfulness, relaxation, and tapping may be added when helpful.
Randye draws on her medical degree and her LCSW-C licensure to inform a thoughtful, down-to-earth practice. She pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and immigration-related stress. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, intellectual disability concerns, and seasonal mood changes.
Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. Randye works with each person to build a plan and track progress. The focus is on manageable steps - whether that means reducing panic around a phobia, improving sleep, or finding more satisfying relationships.
Sessions are conducted from Maryland in English and offered through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and following their pace. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name goals that feel meaningful to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, phobias, sleep problems, and mood concerns by teaching practical strategies and small experiments between sessions.
Psychodynamic work looks at earlier relationships and patterns that show up now. That perspective can help with lingering relationship difficulties, family of origin issues, and a sense of emptiness by making repeated patterns easier to see and change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that fits. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day. These options help make consistent therapy more achievable for different schedules and routines.
