About Randall
Randall Rider is an Indiana-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are frustrated by recurring anger, resentment, or frequent outbursts. He also helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and parenting strains.
Randall hears how anger shows up in daily life - at work, at home, or inside close relationships. He treats those moments as information about what is hard, not as proof someone is broken. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice triggers, slow escalation, and try different responses when emotions rise.
His approach is straightforward and collaborative. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and offers techniques people can practice between sessions. Goals are chosen together and aimed at clearer communication, fewer explosive reactions, and better coping when life gets rough.
Randall also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that keep recurring.
Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgmental conversation that honors their values. The focus is on building skills that make daily life more manageable. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set practical goals.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Randall uses come from well-established, evidence-based approaches. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on spotting thoughts that fuel anger and testing different reactions; they help with anxiety, mood, and anger patterns. Skills-based work teaches concrete strategies for calming down, communicating clearly, and de-escalating conflict so reactions change over time. Trauma-informed practices attend to how past harm affects current responses and help people build steadier emotional regulation.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process means trying practical techniques and deciding together which ones to keep using.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to proceed, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to check in between meetings and to practice skills in real-life moments that occur during a normal day.
