About Randolph

Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California.

Background and approach

He brings five years of direct experience as an LMFT and a broader background rooted in ministry and education. Randy aims to help people facing stress, relationship strain, mood challenges, addiction, and parenting concerns.

Randy combines practical, goal-focused work with a client-centered stance. He helps people set clear goals and then works with them to change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on steps people can try between meetings. His earlier roles as a pastor and camp director shaped how he teaches and supports people.

Those experiences helped him move into formal clinical training, culminating in a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. He has worked in community clinics, substance use programs, a state hospital, and correctional settings.

Randy draws on several therapy approaches to match the client’s needs. He uses client-centered techniques to build a strong working relationship.

He applies cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift thinking patterns, and he uses dialectical skills for emotion regulation and coping. People turn to him for concerns that range from anxiety, depression, and bipolar mood issues to trauma, grief, and intimacy-related difficulties.

He also supports people with career stress, parenting strain, addiction recovery, and body image or eating concerns. Randy works with individuals to identify realistic next steps and small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps people identify their goals, values, and options for change. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change behavior. CBT often suits concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress. It can help people who need tools for emotion regulation, reducing impulsive behaviors, or improving relationship interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean using one approach more than another or mixing elements from several models to match the situation.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and connect from different time zones.
