About Randy

Randy Walchle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 16 years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, welcoming presence and focuses on relationship and family concerns. Randy aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can feel heard and move forward.

He uses approaches grounded in attachment work, trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness. Sessions typically focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and repairing connection within relationships and families.

Background and approach

Randy also addresses grief, parenting challenges, addiction issues, and life transitions. Randy has worked internationally and spent time providing trauma-focused work in west Africa. That experience expanded his perspective on cultural and situational impacts on loss and recovery.

He combines that background with ongoing training in attachment and trauma approaches. In sessions he keeps language plain and actions practical. He helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings.

The goal is clearer relationships and better daily coping rather than abstract theory. Randy schedules with consideration for multiple time zones and offers options that suit different routines. He balances clinical work with time for personal rest and community service, and he aims to respond consistently to messages and session requests.

Online approaches that support relationship and trauma work

Randy commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people build safer, more supported ways of relating. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful events and reduce the ways those experiences disrupt daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randy collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. He checks in about what is or isn’t helping and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. These formats let people connect from different places and times, which helps when schedules or time zones are a challenge. The aim is to make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to keep momentum toward clearer relationships and better coping.

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.

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.

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.
