Randall Cripe

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, career questions, and major life changes. He focuses on practical support for problems like abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and coping with cancer. Randall uses a straightforward style that centers the person in the room and respects each individual's story.

He brings 18 years of professional counseling experience to his work and a long history in human services. Randall follows a person-centered, client-driven approach. That means he starts by listening and helping clients identify their own goals. Sessions are relational and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Randall draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people rewrite painful stories and find small, usable steps forward. He also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm is part of the concern. In sessions he balances compassion with practical problem solving to make progress feel achievable.

Clients can expect help with concrete issues such as communication problems, commitment concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and career exploration. He also supports people dealing with the emotional fallout of divorce, adoption and foster care, or disasters. Randall describes his role as guide and advocate during the healing process.

He works in English and serves clients from Michigan and beyond. Before starting, he invites people to consider what they want to change and what matters most to them. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Randall uses client-centered work that places the person's needs and choices at the center of therapy. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting back what matters, and helping clients decide the next steps that feel right for them.

He also draws on narrative therapy to help people look at their life stories differently. Narrative ideas help when a painful or limiting story has taken over, allowing clients to notice other threads and rewrite how they make sense of past events.

Solution-focused techniques are part of his toolbox too. These emphasize small, practical changes and clear goals so progress can be measured and built on session by session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randall collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in often to adjust the plan if something isn't helping.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or between activities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or meetings without being on camera for lower bandwidth or comfort reasons. Ask about available scheduling and format choices when you sign up.
