Randall Cripe, LPC

Randall Cripe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control. He works in a warm, person-centered way and treats each person as an individual with their own pace and needs.

Randall believes people often know their own answers and benefit from a guide who listens closely and asks helpful questions. His style is relational and client-driven, aiming to build trust and clarity rather than impose solutions. He also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and set concrete goals.

With 18 years of professional counseling experience and a long history in human services, he brings steady support for complex issues like childhood sexual abuse, abandonment, attachment concerns, and family of origin wounds. He also supports those coping with cancer, caregiver stress, eating and body-image issues, and the fallout of divorce or separation.

Sessions emphasize self-discovery, practical steps, and advocacy for the person in therapy. Randall works with people on motivation, self-esteem, commitment and communication problems, and vocational exploration. He aims to meet each person where they are and adjust the pace and focus to what helps most.

He provides services in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options so arrangements match their needs.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering a listening, nonjudgmental stance that helps people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for relationship struggles, grief, and rebuilding confidence after trauma.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, and helps them identify and reshape unhelpful narratives. It can be helpful for attachment issues, family of origin problems, and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs. Together they will adjust techniques over time based on what feels most useful.

Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid camera use when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can use these methods to work on practical goals, process difficult memories, and develop new habits without requiring a particular in-person arrangement.
