About Randall
Randall Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience based in New Mexico. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, depression, and related concerns. He also supports clients facing issues like addictions, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD.
Randall trained originally in education and later completed a Master of Counseling degree with High Distinction. He draws on Choice Theory and Reality Therapy in his sessions while also using ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He prefers practical conversations that focus on changing thoughts and actions that aren't working.
In sessions he creates a straightforward space for people to talk about what is bothering them. He will sometimes share parts of his own experience when it helps move the conversation forward. He works with clients to identify thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to repeated anger or conflict and then practices alternatives together.
The work is focused on developing tools clients can use in daily life. That may include short, goal-focused exercises, reframing automatic thoughts, and testing new behaviors between sessions. The aim is clearer thinking and more useful responses to anger, stress, and relationship challenges.
People who choose him should expect direct, practical conversations about what they want to change. Before booking, confirm the current session options and how they fit into your routine.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify goals. It is useful for people who need space to talk through feelings like anger or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes. Online CBT often uses brief exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can try between sessions to reduce anger and worry. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions emphasize quick, doable changes and tracking small improvements over time. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skills practice, thought work, or short goal-driven tasks. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-in times when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings to practice new responses to anger and stress.Areas of expertise
