Randall CripeLPC

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and major life changes. He brings 18 years of professional counseling experience and an emphasis on personal connection. Randall aims to meet people where they are and support them through practical steps and steady encouragement.

He works in a person-centered way that focuses on each client's own goals and strengths. Conversations tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Randall listens for the story behind the struggle and helps people find next steps that fit their life and values.

Randall uses narrative and solution-focused ideas alongside trauma-focused work when needed. That means helping clients rethink harmful stories about themselves, identify small changes that make a big difference, and address the effects of past harm in manageable ways. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill-building, and guided reflection.

People contact him for concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family conflict, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, eating-related issues, emptiness, family of origin difficulties, and challenges related to adoption or cancer.

Randall values a relational approach and treats each person as an individual. He supports clients who want practical tools and thoughtful listening while they work toward clearer choices and steadier functioning.

How his approaches fit into online care

Randall uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person. That approach emphasizes listening, building a trusting relationship, and shaping sessions around the client's goals. It helps when people need someone to reflect their priorities and guide decision making.

Narrative Therapy helps people sort the stories they tell about themselves. In sessions, a therapist asks questions that reveal unhelpful patterns and opens space to try new interpretations. This is useful for concerns like identity, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete changes that move a person forward. Sessions often identify a next step or a short-term goal, which can be particularly helpful for career questions, communication problems, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different methods as needed, and collaborate with the client to decide what fits best with their needs and preferences.

Session logistics can make therapy easier to use in daily life. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can save travel time, allow scheduling around work or caregiving, and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins or brief follow-ups. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor pacing and tools to match a client's routine and goals.
