About Randee-Sue

Randee-Sue Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with relationship and mood-related issues. She writes in a warm, direct way and aims to help people talk through communication problems, infidelity, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions often include building communication skills, setting small goals, and using cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

She also draws on the Gottman Method for couples work and narrative and solution-focused ideas for clearer problem solving. Kramer trained at Barry University for her master’s degree after a double major in criminal justice and sociology from the University of Miami.

Early clinical work included women's shelters, groups and sex-education work in the gay community, and home health visits for hospice families. That variety influenced her flexible, hands-on style. In the therapy room she aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can say hard things and try new ways of relating.

She uses a combination of supportive and active techniques to help clients make changes that feel sustainable. Sessions include skill practice, reflection, and practical steps tailored to each person’s goals. Kramer also has experience supervising interns in Florida.

She brings decades of clinical experience to common family concerns like blended-family challenges, parenting stress, caregiving strain, and grief.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and relationship work

Randee-Sue Kramer uses practical methods that translate well to online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and decide their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect family life. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples to improve communication and rebuild trust after conflicts.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Many clients use a mix of techniques so work can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work for communication practice and skill teaching. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging can help with brief check-ins, homework support, or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and parenting lives while keeping the focus on practical change and relationship repair.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
