About Randall

Randall Kitchen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. He focuses on addictions, relationships, family concerns, and related issues such as stress, anxiety, and grief. Randall works with adults who want to take responsibility for change and improve their quality of life.

He prefers to treat each person as an individual rather than concentrating on labels. Sessions emphasize a strengths-based, whole-person view that can include spiritual concerns when the client chooses to bring them up. Randall aims to help people address problems directly and set practical goals.

Much of his work over the past 25 years has centered on substance use and recovery. He has provided individual therapy, group work, and family-focused care for people affected by drug and alcohol problems. He also addresses relationship patterns, communication problems, and commitment issues linked to addiction and other stresses.

Randall draws on approaches that help clients understand behaviors and feelings and then change them. That includes cognitive tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, and emotion-focused work to improve how people connect. He also uses mindfulness practices and motivational strategies to support sustained change.

People who come to him often want concrete steps and accountability. He works with clients to set goals, track progress, and build on existing strengths. Those who prefer to include spiritual concerns can raise them and have them respected as part of the work.

How sessions work

How his approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and choices. It means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client steer the work. This approach is useful for people who want to clarify values, discuss spiritual concerns, or take responsibility for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and often includes exercises between sessions to build new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns tied to codependency.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and closeness. It helps people recognize patterns in how they connect and respond to others, which can be useful when working on intimacy, communication, or relationship distress.

Randall treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed based on what helps most. The choice of methods grows out of what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life rather than reshaping daily routines.
