About Randee
Randee Olive is a licensed social worker in Kansas with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a variety of life changes. She also supports people with issues like parenting strain, intimacy difficulties, grief, and questions around identity and LGBT concerns.
Her practice uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral methods. Sessions focus on naming intense feelings, spotting unhelpful relationship patterns, and practicing different ways of responding. Randee aims to make emotions easier to understand and to help clients try new action steps between sessions.
She draws on client-centered and attachment-based perspectives to explore how early relationships affect present behavior. That often means looking at how people relate to others, how they handle closeness, and how past losses or abandonment shape reactions today. Practical skills from CBT and ACT are woven into this work when they fit the person’s goals.
Randee encourages straightforward talking, short experiments in session, and simple homework tasks to test changes. She describes progress in terms of clearer feelings, fewer automatic reactions, and stronger choices in daily life. She works with people on career stress, sleep and eating concerns, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and caregiving strain.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the licensing credentials LSCSW and LCSW as held in Kansas. People considering work with her are asked to use the site’s matching steps to schedule a first meeting and to confirm current session formats before booking.
How Randee blends EFT, ACT and attachment ideas in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and relationship patterns. It helps people name what they feel and how those feelings shape interactions and decisions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to commit to values-based actions. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship experiences and how they affect current closeness and trust. That perspective is useful for understanding patterns in intimacy and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randee will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to use based on goals, responses in early sessions, and personal preferences. Together they try out approaches and adjust what is used over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and let people choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use a mix of feeling-focused conversation, short in-session experiments, and practical tasks to test new ways of relating between meetings.
