About Randee

Randee Olive is a Kansas licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She is credentialed as an LSCSW (Kansas) and an LCSW (Arizona). She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods when people want clear steps to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions focus on noticing patterns in thoughts and behavior and trying small, practical changes.

Randee helps people sort difficult emotions and improve how they manage everyday struggles. This can include sleep and eating issues, anger and self-esteem problems, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges around parenting or career change. She also addresses areas such as ADHD, body image, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress.

Her work pays attention to how relationships and early attachments affect current behavior. She uses that lens to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of relating. Techniques may include skills practice, values-based goal setting, and direct problem-solving.

People who want clear structure and practical tools will find the sessions focused and action-oriented. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site’s online options. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Randee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try concrete experiments to shift those patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many everyday stressors.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and set small goals that reflect what matters. ACT helps when someone wants to act toward meaningful life directions while managing difficult internal experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how relationship patterns developed and to practice different ways of connecting, which can help intimacy and communication problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that match needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that require less bandwidth. The therapist will discuss the practical setup and how sessions can fit into daily life when scheduling the first meeting.
