About Randye

Randye Brittain brings two decades of clinical experience to her therapeutic work, blending practical techniques with a compassionate, person-centered stance.

Background and approach

She is an MD and a Maryland-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) who helps people navigate a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice also addresses stress, sleep difficulties, anger, career issues, parenting and coping with life transitions.

Her approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives, and she integrates solution-focused elements to tailor each course of work. She is experienced supporting clients dealing with adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, and concerns like isolation, phobias, or seasonal mood changes.

Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and collaborative planning rather than labels or assumptions. Clients can expect a warm, interactive clinician who aims to co-create treatment plans that match individual needs and goals.

Randye welcomes people who are ready to build skills, process losses or trauma, improve relationships, or explore life purpose and self-worth, and she brings flexibility in methods to meet each person where they are.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Randye draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, using structured tools and skill-building to address anxiety, depression, phobias and mood-related concerns. She also employs client-centered methods that prioritize empathetic listening and collaboration, creating a supportive space for clients to explore emotions, values and personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they develop a plan that may combine skill-based CBT strategies with client-centered dialogue or brief solution-focused techniques, adjusting as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals without travel constraints.
