Randee Olive , LSCSW, LCSW

Randee Olive is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationships and identity. Clients often seek her help for depression, trauma, parenting concerns, or questions about intimacy and self-esteem.

She uses a client-centered style that starts with listening. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Randee blends talk therapy with approaches that teach new skills for coping, communicating, and managing strong emotions.

Her background includes long experience supporting people through big life changes. That includes job transitions, caregiving strain, health challenges, and adoption or foster care issues. She also offers help around eating and sleeping problems, body image, and managing mood swings and bipolar concerns.

Randee draws on several evidence-informed methods to fit each person’s needs. She works with attachment issues, codependency and commitment concerns, and relationship patterns that repeat. The aim is to build resilience, clearer choices, and better day-to-day functioning.

In sessions she emphasizes straightforward tools and steady support. People leave with concrete strategies for managing anxiety, anger, and stress. She practices in Kansas and conducts therapy in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep trouble. This approach is practical and goal oriented. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that began early in life and how they show up now, helping people build safer ways of relating and feel more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Randee will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies from these methods that fit their situation. The choice of techniques evolves as progress is made, and decisions are made collaboratively.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins, skill practice, or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while using the therapeutic tools described above.
