About Randee

Randee Olive is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She practices from Kansas and blends practical skills with empathic support to help clients address issues ranging from grief and intimacy-related difficulties to parenting, career transitions, and ADHD-related challenges. Her work emphasizes the individual story of each client, using a client-centered stance that invites collaboration and self-discovery.

Randee weaves evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches into care so clients gain tools to reduce distress, improve communication, and make values-driven changes. Clients can expect a therapeutic partnership that balances proven interventions with compassionate listening.

Randee’s background supports work on many concerns including eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, and complex life adjustments. She aims to help people build resilience, clarify goals, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Randee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes values-guided action and developing psychological flexibility to cope with difficult emotions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and help clients build more supported ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Randee works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors interventions accordingly, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the plan fits the person and the presenting concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow clients to engage in skills practice, process emotional material, and receive coaching between sessions in ways that can fit work, family, and other responsibilities.
