Randall Cripe

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of professional counseling experience. He focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and coping with life changes. He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce, eating issues, emptiness, and family of origin matters.

Randall uses a person-centered style. He treats conversations as client-driven and highly relational. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them and try practical steps that reflect their values and goals.

His approach draws on client-centered, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods. That means he listens for the stories that shape a person, helps identify small workable changes, and addresses painful memories with attention to safety and pacing. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented when that fits the client.

Randall also brings experience from long work in human services and career coaching. He helps people who feel stuck at work or in life think about next steps, clarify priorities, and test options without pressure. He supports faith and spiritual concerns when clients want to include them in therapy.

People who book with Randall can expect straightforward talk about problems, gentle challenge when needed, and collaborative planning for change. He welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding the client's perspective and helping them find their own solutions, which can help with relationship doubts and life direction issues.

Narrative Therapy treats problems as separate from the person. Sessions look at the stories someone tells about themselves and explore alternative meanings and possibilities. This can be useful for grief, emptiness, or identity questions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and measurable goals. It helps people who want quicker, action-oriented work around career moves or coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. That choice can change as work unfolds, and the therapist will check in and adjust the plan together with the client.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Ask about the available session types when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during busy weeks, and letting people join from different locations. Different formats can suit different needs - for example some meeting types work better for slower paced trauma processing, while others suit brief career check-ins.
