Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He brings five years of experience as an LMFT and a longer history in related roles to his therapy work. Randy draws on practical life experience and academic study to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and self esteem concerns.
He trained in marriage and family therapy after earlier studies in business and theology. Randy also spent years as a pastor and camp director, where he developed teaching programs and led groups. Those roles shaped his straightforward, goal-oriented style in the therapy room.
His work emphasizes clear goals and hands-on tools. Sessions focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential approaches to build awareness and find workable changes.
Randy has experience across community clinics, substance use treatment programs, a state hospital, and correctional settings. He has worked with addiction services, foster care systems, competency restoration, and crisis intervention education. That background informs his practical approach to common problems like grief, trauma, parenting stress, and career transitions.
Clients who appreciate a collaborative, problem-focused therapist may find his style useful. He aims to help people take responsibility for change while addressing fear and roadblocks. People interested in starting work with him can expect clear goal-setting and a focus on actionable steps.
How Randy blends practical approaches with online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the relationship and on listening to what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and set goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches skills to shift those patterns and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with intense emotions and self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care across geographic moves and can make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use approaches like CBT and DBT in remote sessions much as they do in person, focusing on skill practice, homework, and concrete strategies to manage stress, mood, and relationships.
He works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related problems, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, parenting and career concerns.
