About Randell

Randell Gudgel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with more than two decades of clinical experience. He leads Resilience & Balance Counseling and focuses on helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed find practical ways to move forward. Sessions center on clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon or vague promises.

His style is direct and collaborative. He helps clients identify personal strengths and uses those strengths to guide choices in therapy.

Background and approach

Randell draws from several approaches to match what each person needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Randell has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, parenting questions, and workplace stress. He also addresses issues around self-esteem, intimacy, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

In sessions he blends practical skills with reflective conversation. Clients learn tools to manage symptoms and then practice changes in day-to-day life. He explains techniques in plain language and checks in about how well they fit each person.

Randell offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He accepts international clients and works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Randell commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which is useful for managing anger, sleep problems, and ongoing worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to make progress without traveling to an office. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions reduce screen time, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid a busy life.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
