About Randall
Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of counseling experience. He works with people facing relationship struggles, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, career questions, and coping with major life changes. Randall also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.
Randall uses a person-centered style that keeps the client's perspective central. He listens for what matters most and helps people name goals and next steps. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what the client wants to change or understand.
He draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That mix helps him handle grief, painful memories, and shifts in identity after loss or relationship change. He works conversationally, often inviting clients to tell their story and notice patterns they want to change.
Randall aims to support people as they sort through difficult experiences and decide what to try next. He helps clients identify strengths, test small changes, and build clearer boundaries when needed. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs.
Sessions are conducted in English and Randall accepts international clients. People interested in starting are asked to use the site's matching process to schedule a first appointment and share their goals before that meeting.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let people speak through their concerns and notice what they already know about next steps. This is useful for relationship struggles, low confidence, and figuring out values.Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from dominant stories that cause shame or stuckness. In an online meeting, a therapist will ask questions that uncover alternative stories and new meanings, which can be helpful after grief, loss, or family-of-origin problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. Sessions often identify one or two concrete steps the client can try between meetings to test what works for career moves, communication problems, or boundary-setting.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans based on how the client responds.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many clients find that meeting remotely helps fit therapy into a busy day, makes shorter check-ins easier, or removes travel time. Others prefer longer sessions that allow more time for narrative work. The therapist will work with the client to arrange sessions that fit their schedule and needs.
