About Randall
Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people navigate grief, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, career concerns, and major life changes. He brings 18 years of professional counseling experience and a person-centered style to sessions. People will find a direct, relational approach focused on understanding what matters to them now.
Randall emphasizes listening first and working from the client's goals. He believes people often carry the answers they need and that the therapist's role is to guide and support discovery. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the individual's needs rather than following a fixed formula.
His background includes long experience in human services and nearly two decades in professional counseling. That history informs his focus on trauma, grief, and life transitions, and shapes a practical approach to emotional and vocational questions. He also incorporates faith and spirituality when clients want that addressed.
In practice he uses client-centered, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused ideas to help people cope, make decisions, and rebuild after loss or upheaval. Examples include clarifying values after a job change, processing childhood abuse, or finding ways to manage life after a disruptive event like a natural or human-caused disaster.
Sessions aim to help people gain clearer options, stronger coping strategies, and a sense of forward movement. The therapist frames work as a partnership, adapting methods to each person's story and current priorities.
Approaches that guide online work and recovery
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the person, and helps them set goals. This approach can help with grief, career decisions, and rebuilding after major changes.Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from a problem and find alternative stories that support change. This can be useful for attachment issues, identity concerns, and coping after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That lets them tailor sessions so the approach fits the client's needs rather than forcing one method onto every situation.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, the pace of sessions, and whether to incorporate narrative, client-centered, or trauma-focused techniques into remote sessions.
