About Randi
Randi Butwin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns and identity development, and she works with people navigating breakups, family conflict, and the pressures of early adulthood including young adult issues.
Randi helps individuals who are moving away from harmful relationships or leaving social groups that no longer fit. She also supports people sorting out intimate and sexual identity questions, including kink and alternative sex culture concerns. Her work often involves practical steps for calming anxiety and managing stress as life changes happen.
Her background includes work in hospice and bereavement support, a school setting with children, teens, parents and families, a community clinic supporting transitional youth, and private practice with couples. Those varied settings inform how she works with complex relationship dynamics and identity shifts.
In sessions she focuses on listening and reflecting what’s important to the client. She uses approaches that center the client’s own goals and stories while teaching clearer communication skills. That can mean looking at personal narratives, practicing direct conversations, or using evidence-informed strategies to reduce anxiety.
People often come for help with intimacy issues, ADHD-related struggles, stress, and questions about sexuality or gender. Randi supports those trying to rebuild trust, set boundaries, or find direction after major life changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following their goals. It is useful when someone needs validation, help clarifying values, or support making changes that feel authentic. The Gottman Method emphasizes communication skills and practical exercises for relationship problems, helping partners learn new ways to talk about conflict and rebuild trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randi collaborates with clients to identify whether narrative techniques, motivational interviewing, or Gottman-informed exercises fit best. She discusses goals, preferences, and what feels manageable so the plan evolves from session to session.
Confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for focused work on communication skills and personal stories from wherever you are. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use online sessions to practice conversations in real time and keep progress between meetings.
