About Randall
Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people navigate grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, career questions, and major life changes. He emphasizes a person-centered, relational style and aims to guide clients as they find practical ways forward.
Randall brings 18 years of professional counseling experience to sessions.

Sessions often center on building confidence, improving communication, and creating steps toward change.
His approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. He also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm needs direct attention.
The work tends to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Randall describes his role as guide, supporter, and advocate during the self-discovery process. He aims to meet people where they are and tailor the work to each individual’s situation.
People seeking help around adoption and foster care-related questions will find those topics listed among his focus areas. He also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, blended family strain, caregiver stress, and family of origin difficulties.
Randall communicates in English and accepts international clients. He combines years of counseling experience with a straightforward, empathetic manner to help people make practical changes and move toward the goals they set together.
How his approaches translate to online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply to the person and following their lead; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and make decisions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite those stories in less damaging ways, which can be useful for relationship or identity concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and practical goals that build momentum in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest ways to combine methods that fit. Clients and therapist regularly check in and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people maintain continuity of care if they move or travel. Licensed professionals typically adapt relational and narrative techniques effectively to remote sessions, focusing on clear communication and practical next steps.
