About Randall

Randall Kitchen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, career challenges, ADHD, and concerns tied to adoption, caregiving, chronic illness, and recovery from substance use.

He prefers a practical, person-focused approach rather than concentrating on diagnosis. He builds on strengths and partners with people who are ready to take responsibility for change. Sessions may include conversations about spiritual concerns when a client wants that included.

Randall has long experience in addiction work. For many years he provided individual, group, and family therapy for people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction. He also works with relational problems such as communication, commitment, blended family stress, and divorce or separation.

His clinical work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix supports practical goal-setting, managing difficult feelings, and strengthening relationships.

People who meet with him can expect focus on clear goals and direct problem-solving. He aims to help clients apply what they discuss in sessions to day-to-day life. He favors straightforward conversations about patterns, choices, and next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify what they want to change and supports their own problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety, guilt, or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses within relationships and can help with intimacy issues and repairing communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured so they fit the client's needs.

Confirm current session format options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can allow shorter check-ins or longer visits depending on what is useful. Therapists who work online aim to use practical exercises, thought records, mindfulness practices, and relationship-focused conversations in ways that translate to remote sessions. These choices are adjusted based on the client's goals and everyday life.
