Randall Cripe, LPC

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and major life changes. He focuses on real problems like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, and communication breakdowns. Randall uses a warm, person-centered approach that aims to meet each person where they are.

Randall keeps sessions grounded and practical. He listens first and then helps clients identify small, useful steps forward. He centers clients' own goals and works with their strengths to build momentum. That can mean reworking narratives about the past, testing new communication habits, or setting short-term career experiments.

With 18 years of counseling experience, Randall draws from several approaches to match what each person needs. He often uses client-centered methods that emphasize the client’s voice, narrative techniques to reframe life stories, and solution-focused ideas to find concrete next steps. Trauma-focused work is also part of his background when past hurts are central to the concern.

Sessions aim to balance practical tools with a respectful, relational stance. People can expect direct conversation, guided reflection, and collaborative planning. The therapist frames challenges as changeable and supports clients as they try new responses.

Randall works in English and accepts international clients. He brings years of experience helping people process loss, change, and relational pain while tailoring care to each person’s beliefs and life context.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach focus on the person’s priorities and making room for what matters most in their life. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe harmful stories about themselves; in remote sessions this often means talking through memories and testing new ways to describe past events and present choices.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical changes and clear next steps. Online work suits this approach because it encourages short experiments between sessions and quick adjustments based on results. These methods can help with relationship patterns, grief, career decisions, and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods feel most useful, and can combine approaches as needs and goals shift. The process is shared and adjusted over time to stay aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel, and it can reduce commute time. It also allows shorter check-ins or focused sessions when a quick touchpoint is helpful.
