About Randye

Randye Brittain is a licensed therapist who combines practical tools with thoughtful listening to help families and individuals. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical, and brings 20 years of experience to sessions.

Background and approach

Randye also supports those coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, sleep problems, and life transitions. She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Her toolkit includes client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic insights, and brief solution-focused strategies.

When useful she adds mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and tapping techniques to reduce stress and improve coping. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer understanding of patterns that matter. Randye works with people to set goals and choose steps that feel doable.

She does not make labels or assumptions. The emphasis is on respect and sensitivity, and on creating a plan that fits each person’s life. Based in Maryland, she offers remote session formats that let clients connect in ways that suit them.

Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions based on therapist availability.

Approach and Online Options for Family-Focused Care

Client-centered therapy puts the person and their experience first. Sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting what matters, and helping clients decide their next steps. This approach is useful for parents and family members who want an accepting space to talk through concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, introduces clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and stress-related symptoms where specific skills can make a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools in one phase and a more exploratory client-centered focus in another.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions let people join without video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into their routines and keep momentum between meetings.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
