Randall Cripe, LPC

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people navigate grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, career questions, and major life changes. He uses a warm, person-centered style that focuses on the individual's goals and values. Randall speaks English and accepts international clients.

Randall takes a practical, relational approach in sessions. He listens first, then helps people name what matters and set small goals. He often uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to reframe difficult stories and find concrete next steps. Trauma-focused methods are also part of his work when past hurt needs direct attention.

His background includes 18 years as a professional counselor and many more years in human services. That experience influences how he supports people facing loss, attachment wounds, adoption and foster-care questions, blended family transitions, and caregiver stress. He also assists with body image, eating issues, cancer-related concerns, and coping after disasters.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to match each person's readiness. Randall encourages curiosity about patterns such as codependency, commitment fears, family-of-origin conflict, and communication problems. He aims to help people build clearer choices and more workable routines.

Practical matters like career exploration, motivation, and self-esteem are addressed alongside emotional healing. People leave with both insights and steps they can try between sessions. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values, build motivation, and make choices that feel right for them. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. It helps separate a person from a problem and open possibilities for new, more helpful narratives.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Randall will work with a client to see which methods fit their goals and needs. He often blends approaches, adapting as progress or new issues emerge.

The practical upside of online therapy is flexibility. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, keep momentum when travel is difficult, or use shorter check-ins when needed. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Licensed professionals can offer the same focused conversations and goal-setting online as in person, with attention to pacing and practicality so therapy fits into daily life.
