About Randall
Randall Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience in New Mexico. He holds a Master of Counseling degree with High Distinction from Colorado Christian University and a Bachelor of Education from Northern Arizona University. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Life purpose is among his focus areas.
Randall draws primarily on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Choice Theory/Reality Therapy to guide sessions. He favors clear, practical steps and helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions often involve setting short-term goals and trying small experiments between meetings.
He sometimes shares his own life experiences when it can move the conversation forward. That personal perspective is used sparingly and with intention. The emphasis is on collaborative problem solving rather than lengthy interpretation.
Randall also addresses a number of specific life stresses such as adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver strain, fatherhood issues, money problems, commitment and control conflicts, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He notes experience working with people managing bipolar symptoms and ADHD alongside mood and anxiety concerns.
Sessions are meant to be practical and directed toward helping people make choices that lead to clearer priorities and more workable day-to-day routines. People can expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and tools to test between sessions.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Randall uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can articulate what matters to them and set personal goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical steps and small, achievable goals to move forward from a stuck place.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session plans and the kinds of exercises or homework used between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also let clients try practical behavior changes in their everyday routines and bring those experiences back into sessions for review.
