About Randee
Randee Olive is a licensed social worker based in Kansas who focuses on helping people handle everyday stresses and bigger life shifts. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, identity questions, and relationship challenges. Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at parents and caregivers looking for clear support and tools.
Randee brings 19 years of clinical experience to her work. She combines straightforward conversation with skills training to help people manage emotions and solve problems.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what feels most urgent right now and what changes would make life easier in the short term. Her style blends several research-based methods. Randee uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment tools to clarify values and build action, and attachment-based ideas to improve how people connect with others.
She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize listening and the person’s perspective. Common topics she addresses include parenting stresses, work pressure, sleep and eating concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, identity and intimacy issues, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. She also works with matters related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and body image concerns.
Randee holds KS LSCSW 3942 and AZ LCSW LCSW-21875 credentials. Her practice emphasizes practical steps, steady emotional support, and helping clients move toward clearer goals over time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and ongoing life transitions because it focuses on meaningful action rather than only reducing symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect how people relate now, helping clients understand patterns and practice different ways of connecting when relationships feel stuck.Randee treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, values-based work, or relational exploration and then adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy can make consistent work easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deep conversations, phone sessions offer a simpler option when screens are difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins or coaching-style support. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the format that best supports steady progress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
