About Randall
Randall McBride is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with 15 years of therapy experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, grief, self-esteem issues, and difficulties around intimacy and anger.
He uses clear, goal-focused sessions where the client shapes the work. Sessions emphasize practical coping strategies that can be used between meetings. Clients often leave with specific tools, short weekly assignments, and steps to try in everyday life.
McBride draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centered approaches, and elements of the Gottman Method. Those methods are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to test alternative responses in real situations.
He trained first in psychology at Brigham Young University and then completed a Master of Social Work at Arizona State University. His clinical background includes many years helping adults navigate life changes, compulsive behaviors, phobias, and issues tied to guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
Sessions tend to be practical and structured. He listens to what matters to the client and then shares strategies, exercises, and short challenges to practice. The aim is to make changes that fit into daily routines and address the specific problems the client brings.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Randall commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT focuses on specific situations, identifies patterns, and creates step-by-step experiments to try outside sessions.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and commit to actions that match those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on relationship patterns, communication, and how early connection styles show up in adult relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means adjusting exercises, homework, and in-session focus as progress and needs change.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practicing techniques in the settings where problems occur so skills can be tested in everyday life.
