About Randall
Randall Kitchen is a licensed professional counselor who uses a strengths-based, practical approach to therapy. He focuses on helping people tackle problems directly and build on what already works in their lives. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to the whole person - spirit, soul, and body - when the client wants that included.
He has 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Much of that time was spent helping people and families affected by drug and alcohol addiction through individual, group, and family therapy.
Background and approach
He also brings experience with relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, stress, and mood issues. Randall favors methods that help people change habits and manage emotions. He uses cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
He also draws on emotionally focused work to improve communication and connection in relationships. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools he uses to increase awareness and support readiness for change. His style is collaborative - he partners with clients to set goals and measure progress.
He avoids a heavy focus on diagnosis and instead treats each person as an individual with strengths to build on. Randall holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and is licensed in Texas under number TX LPC 78196. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The practice notes that session fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online options for family and parenting concerns
Client-centered work focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths, giving space for values and goals to guide change. This approach helps when someone wants a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort priorities and build on what already works.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits related to stress or substance use.
Emotionally-focused therapy helps people improve how they connect and communicate in important relationships. It is useful when the goal involves repairing trust, reducing conflict, or strengthening family bonds.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to decide which methods to try. Sessions can mix techniques and be adjusted over time as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging can help maintain support between sessions or suit people who prefer written communication. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent with daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
