Randall McBride , LCSW

Randall McBride is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and addictions. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brigham Young University and completed his master’s in social work at Arizona State University, training that informs a practical, goal-oriented approach to therapy.

Randall approaches therapy from a person-centered perspective, allowing each individual to drive their goals and outcomes while he provides guidance and structure. He has training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing, and he blends these methods to meet clients where they are.

Sessions emphasize useful, tangible coping strategies and tools that clients can apply between meetings. Randall routinely offers weekly assignments and challenges designed to reinforce new skills and promote measurable progress. He uses his role as therapist to listen carefully so clients feel heard, while also delivering evidence-informed techniques and resources.

Randall aims to empower people to build calmer, more balanced lives by combining empathic listening with practical interventions that address immediate concerns and long-term growth.

Evidence-based approaches offered via online therapy

Randall uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is helpful for worry, avoidance, and life transitions because it focuses on committed action alongside acceptance skills.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which examines the connections among thoughts, emotions and behaviors and offers structured strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. CBT provides concrete techniques for testing beliefs and changing patterns that contribute to distress.

Alongside these methods, Randall emphasizes a client-centered stance that prioritizes the individual’s goals and pace. He collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit best, adapting tools over time as needs and preferences evolve.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent care, try different formats, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
