About Randall
Randall Kitchen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 25 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, and related issues. He also addresses grief, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
He prefers a direct, strengths-based approach. He invites clients who are willing to take responsibility for change and works alongside them to address problems head-on. He does not center his work on diagnosis but sees each person as an individual capable of making progress toward their goals.
Randall blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening and practical techniques. He will talk through feelings, patterns, and behaviors and help people identify concrete steps they can try between sessions. He is open to discussing spiritual concerns when clients want that included.
His background includes long-term work with people affected by drug and alcohol addiction. Over many years he has provided individual, group, and family therapy to people navigating recovery and the stresses that come with it. He has also worked with men facing identity and role challenges and with those who struggle with relationship breakdowns.
Sessions focus on clarifying what matters, recognizing patterns that get in the way, and practicing new ways of relating and coping. He aims to build on strengths and help people increase their day-to-day quality of life.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with hard-to-name emotions and the ways they affect close relationships. In online sessions this can mean naming feelings, tracking patterns in real time, and practicing new responses to recurring interactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering reflective listening and space to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and gives practical exercises to try between sessions to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. Over the first sessions he will check in and adjust the mix of approaches based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week or to check in from a different location. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Ask about the exact session formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what to expect.
