About Randee

Randee Olive is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kansas with 19 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She helps people who are managing life changes, workplace stress, or complicated family dynamics. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most to the client and to develop small, practical steps toward better daily functioning. Randee uses direct conversation and reflective listening to uncover patterns that keep people stuck and to identify what could shift.

Her work combines several clinical approaches to match each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based action even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy helps understand how early relationships shape current reactions.

Randee also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's perspective central. She has experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, eating and sleep problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family challenges.

Sessions are practical and paced to fit each person's life. People who want focused conversations about relationships, parenting burdens, or coping after trauma may find this approach useful. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them stop important action. It focuses on clarifying values and committing to small, meaningful steps that align with those values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with behavioral experiments. It is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and eating-related issues.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and expectations. It can be helpful when communication problems, intimacy concerns, or recurring relationship patterns are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how quickly to move between them.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and DBT or CBT skills for remote sessions so clients can practice techniques between meetings.
