Randall Allen , LPC, LMHC

Randall Allen is a licensed counselor who brings a blend of formal training and practical experience to his work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, anger, depression, and issues related to addiction and intimacy. He holds a Bachelor of Education from Northern Arizona University (1987) and a Master of Counseling with High Distinction from Colorado Christian University (2016). He is licensed to practice in Arizona and New Mexico and has accumulated ten years of professional experience supporting clients through a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Randall typically draws on Choice Theory and Reality Therapy as a foundation for his work while integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches to meet each person where they are. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and at times he shares personal experience when it is likely to advance the therapeutic process. His goal is to help people develop practical thought patterns and behaviors that lead to a more satisfying life and greater emotional balance.

Outside of counseling, Randall balances part-time work with an online counseling service and a role as a high school sports official. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort that requires courage and commitment, and he positions himself as a supportive guide for those taking the first steps toward change. For those interested in beginning, he directs inquiries to the appropriate start page on his profile.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and personal resources, offering a supportive environment that helps people explore feelings and make choices that align with their values. This approach is useful for issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and relational concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, providing practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and immediate goals, helping people build actionable steps for change and quick progress on specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Randall collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into busy lives. These options provide flexibility and accessible ways to connect with a licensed professional when in-person visits are not practical, while still supporting meaningful therapeutic work.
