About Randall
Randall MacKendrick is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 35 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem problems, and the challenges of life change.
Randall focuses on straightforward conversation and practical skills. He helps people reduce anxious thoughts, improve communication, and find clearer direction after big transitions. Sessions are geared toward building emotional stamina and making small, realistic changes that add up.
His background blends several approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused techniques, and systemic thinking. That mix lets him use talk, problem-solving, and pattern spotting to address repeated difficulties like attachment wounds, control issues, or repeated relationship problems.
Randall also addresses concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, commitment worries, guilt and shame, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He aims to help people identify what keeps problems repeating and to test small changes that reduce distress.
In a typical session he listens for recurring patterns, helps set concrete short-term goals, and checks how new behaviors are working. He encourages realistic steps - practical things someone can try between sessions to notice progress and adjust as needed.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Randall draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective and lived experience, helping people talk through what matters and identify personal strengths. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to map unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating relationship patterns and early attachment issues that influence current choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and reviews progress so the plan can change if needed. This is a practical partnership focused on clear steps and measurable change.
