Randall Cripe , LPC

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and a Certified Life and Career Coach who brings nearly two decades of professional counseling experience to his practice. He also draws on more than 25 years working in human services, helping people navigate complex life transitions, grief, and trauma. Randall specializes in grief and loss, trauma and abuse - including childhood sexual abuse for both males and females - and offers support for faith and spirituality, relationship challenges, self-esteem and motivation, and vocational exploration.

His approach is strongly person-centered and client-driven, prioritizing a relational connection that helps clients feel heard and supported. Randall believes people carry their own answers and that therapy is a collaborative journey where he guides, supports, and advocates while clients discover and apply their strengths. He rejects one-size-fits-all solutions and adapts his work to meet each person where they are, respecting their unique history and goals.

Clients seeking help with loss, attachment and relational issues, or career decisions will find an experienced clinician who emphasizes empathy, practical guidance, and empowerment. Randall is accepting new clients and welcomes international clients who are pursuing therapy in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Randall integrates client-centered therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and solution-focused techniques into his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people build self-awareness and confidence - it is useful for relational struggles, self-esteem work, and faith-related questions. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic experiences and developing coping strategies to reduce their ongoing effects - it is often helpful for people processing abuse or significant loss. Solution-focused therapy targets concrete goals and practical steps, helping clients identify strengths and small changes that can move them forward quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Randall works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or while traveling, accommodate varied communication styles, and support continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints.
