About Randall
Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of professional counseling experience. He focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and coping with life changes, and also addresses family of origin issues and related topics. Randall speaks English and accepts international clients.
Randall uses a person-centered approach in sessions. He listens for the patterns people carry from childhood and the family they grew up in. He invites clients to name what feels stuck and helps them test small changes that can shift daily routines and relationships.
His practice often combines narrative work and solution-focused steps. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe recurring stories they tell themselves. Solution-Focused techniques look for practical next steps to try between meetings.
Randall also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect how someone functions now. He works with clients to reduce the hold of painful memories and to build coping skills for stressful moments.
He describes his role as a guide who follows the client’s lead. Sessions are conversational and directed by the client’s goals. For people worried about repeating old family patterns, he helps identify those patterns and develop different ways of relating and responding.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client and on clearly stated goals. This approach helps with relationship patterns and life transitions. Narrative Therapy invites people to examine the stories they tell about themselves. In an online setting this looks like mapping those stories aloud and testing new ways of describing challenging events or family roles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randall will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative conversation helps set clear, practical steps to try between sessions and lets the plan change as progress or new needs appear.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while still working on family-of-origin patterns and coping skills.
