Randall Kitchen, LPC

Randall Kitchen is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. He focuses on practical, goal-driven counseling that builds on each person's strengths. He encourages motivated clients to take responsibility for change and to pursue greater satisfaction in life.

He prefers to see each person as an individual rather than as a diagnosis. Randall addresses emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns while considering spirit, soul, and body when clients want to include those topics. He often helps people who are dealing with addiction and related life challenges.

Randall uses straightforward, collaborative work. He partners with clients to set clear goals and tackle problems head-on. Sessions aim to increase everyday functioning, reduce distress, and help people reconnect with what matters to them.

His background includes long-term work with people affected by drug and alcohol addiction. Over 25 years he has provided individual, group, and family therapy related to substance use and recovery. He also brings experience addressing relationship struggles, grief, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Clients often get practical skills they can use between sessions, such as tools for managing stress, building healthier patterns, and improving communication. Randall’s approach blends practical strategies with attention to each person’s values and strengths.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, validates experience, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can help with motivation, confidence, and relationship questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where small changes can have a big impact.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and then change the patterns that keep them stuck. It is often used when emotional connection or recurring conflict is part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randall will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That may mean using one approach first and adjusting as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to fit into a busy day. It also supports options for shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what you need, helping therapy fit more naturally into everyday life.
