About Randolph
Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, relationship struggles, and career and life transitions. Randy also addresses parenting and family stress, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and related concerns.
Randy combines goal-focused work with a client-centered approach. He aims to help people identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then develop practical steps to change them. Sessions tend to be straightforward and action oriented, with goals set together.
He trained in marriage and family therapy after earlier studies in business and theology. His background includes roles as a pastor, camp director, and work in community clinics, substance use treatment, a state hospital, and jail settings. This mix of settings shaped his practical approach to common life problems.
Randy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Gottman Method, existential ideas, and client-centered work when those approaches fit a person's needs. He has additional experience related to trauma-focused CBT, crisis intervention training, and motivational values tools, which inform how he structures sessions when appropriate.
People who want clear goals, direct feedback, and step-by-step strategies often find his style useful. He works with adults navigating early adulthood pressures like first jobs, changing relationships, and identity questions, and with others facing longer-term mood or relationship challenges.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps people clarify values and goals and is useful for relationship and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with mood instability, impulsive behaviors, and stress that affects relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust techniques based on what helps. Expectations and plans are set together rather than prescribed up front.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and can make scheduling around work or school easier. Consider quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or audio-only when that suits your day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to an online setting to focus on skills, problem solving, and relationship work without changing the core approach.
