About Randal

Randal Withers is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with ten years of clinical experience helping people make meaningful changes in their lives.

Background and approach

He draws on cognitive and evidence-informed methods alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills for daily living. Randal emphasizes understanding each person's strengths and history to shape goals that feel achievable and relevant.

Randal's background includes focused work with addictions, and he applies lessons from recovery to a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, career challenges, and relationship difficulties. He is comfortable addressing complex situations that involve co-occurring issues like substance use, attachment wounds, communication problems, and life transitions.

Randal frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients and therapist clarify priorities, set concrete objectives, and track progress toward improvements in functioning and well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



Randal frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and stress. He also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so that people feel heard while exploring their goals and values. Motivational Interviewing is another technique he uses to strengthen commitment to change, particularly around substance use and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Randal takes a collaborative stance, discussing options and aligning methods with each person's needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels purposeful and tailored.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care while adapting how people prefer to communicate, whether they want real-time conversation or ongoing message-based support.
