Randee Olive, LSCSW, LCSW

Randee Olive is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She also supports those working through relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and issues tied to identity and self-worth.

Her style is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions often include workable strategies for sleep, eating, mood, and day-to-day coping. Randee uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors.

She combines acceptance-based ideas with attention to attachment and relationships. That means she helps people accept difficult feelings while also looking at how past relationships shape current reactions. She draws on client-centered and skills-based methods to teach emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving.

Randee has experience across many concerns, including ADHD, bipolar issues, caregiving stress, body image, adoption and foster-care histories, and blended family dynamics. Her work also covers career stress, commitment issues, and coping with chronic illness or aging-related worries.

Clients connect with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works from Kansas as a KS LSCSW and an Arizona Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and sessions are held in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Randee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and behavior patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values and taking value-driven actions. This approach can help with chronic stress, grief, and motivation. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Randee talks with each person about goals and preferences and adapts methods over time. She works collaboratively to try different techniques and checks in on what is helpful or needs adjustment.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit care around work, caregiving, or daily life.
