About Randall

Randall McBride is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also supports those coping with relationship strain, addictions, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Randall uses a person-centered style where the client guides the goals. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies and clear steps. He often assigns small weekly tasks and challenges so clients can try new skills between meetings.

His background includes a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University. Over the years he has worked with adults facing a wide range of concerns, from obsessive behaviors and phobias to postpartum depression and young adult transitions.

Randall draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. These methods are used to build awareness, change unhelpful thinking and strengthen close relationships.

Sessions aim to leave people with usable tools after each meeting. Randall listens closely, offers straightforward feedback, and helps clients set achievable steps toward a calmer and more connected life. He practices in Arizona and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, more helpful thoughts and behaviors; it often includes practical exercises for anxiety, depression, and compulsive habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people improve trust, closeness, and emotional safety in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss which methods may fit, and adjust the plan as goals and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process helps ensure sessions feel relevant and manageable.

It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain continuity across life changes. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to teach skills, assign practice tasks, and support progress between meetings.
