About Randee
Randee Olive is a Kansan licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and ADHD-related concerns. She brings 19 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel understood and make steady progress.
Randee uses a client-centered approach that starts with listening. She helps people clarify what matters to them, and then she works with them to set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to include clear skill practice, problem-solving, and checking what is helping or getting in the way. Her work covers a broad set of life challenges. Clients may bring issues like trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career questions, sleep and eating struggles, identity and LGBT concerns, or coping with medical and caregiving needs.
She also supports people with attachment difficulties, body image concerns, and the emotional fallout from adoption or abandonment. Randee integrates structured techniques when they suit the client. That can mean using cognitive-behavioral steps to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based tools to tolerate strong emotions, or emotion-focused methods to repair relationship patterns.
The emphasis is on what works for the individual rather than a single fixed method. Practicality matters in her sessions. People can expect focused conversation, simple techniques to try between sessions, and regular check-ins about progress.
She practices as an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in Kansas - and an LCSW in Arizona.
How these approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a valued life. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone feels stuck and wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is frequently used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build different ways of relating when they want healthier bonds.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Randee works collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, needs, and daily life. She may blend techniques and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed, so the work evolves with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life changes.
