About Randolph
Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of formal experience as an LMFT. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, bipolar concerns, addiction, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and related issues. Randy also lists interests in intimacy issues, eating concerns, ADHD, career strain, and caregiving stress.
Randy began in ministry and education before moving into clinical work. He holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University and earlier studied theology and business. His background includes roles in community clinics, substance use treatment settings, a state hospital, jail work, foster services, and wraparound programs.
In sessions he uses a direct, goal-oriented style grounded in client-centered practice. He combines practical strategies with discussion to change patterns of thinking and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques are frequent tools he uses to set and pursue clear goals.
Randy also draws on existential ideas to address meaning, responsibility, and fear that come up in life transitions. He has training in trauma-focused CBT and the Gottman Method and has led crisis intervention and values-assessment trainings in other roles. These inform his work without replacing collaborative goal setting.
People who prefer practical steps and clear aims often find his approach helpful. He asks questions, sets measurable goals with clients, and works to replace unhelpful habits with different choices. To begin, viewers are asked to confirm session options and scheduling before booking.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and how online work fits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a clearer sense of priorities and wants the therapist to follow their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and offers concrete steps to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions, useful for strong mood swings and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the patterns the client wants to change. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, client-led reflection, DBT techniques, or a mix of methods based on what the client needs.
Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and let people join without traveling. It can also make it simpler to keep consistent progress between in-person appointments. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use approaches that translate to virtual sessions, and the focus remains on practical steps and measurable goals.
