Randell Gudgel, LPC

Randell Gudgel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. He brings 22 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people find ways to move forward when life feels overwhelming. His approach centers on practical steps and clear conversation so clients can tackle current problems and rebuild balance.

Randell meets people where they are and focuses on strengths clients already have. He listens to what matters most and then helps set simple, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize concrete tools and small changes that add up over time.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep people stuck, then helps replace them with more helpful habits. He also uses mindfulness techniques to calm racing thoughts and improve attention to the present.

Randell values honest talk about meaning and choice, drawing on ideas from existential work when clients face big life questions or transitions. Narrative approaches are used to reframe difficult stories so clients can see alternatives to limiting self-beliefs.

Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, addictions, ADHD, parenting strain, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. He supports people working through trauma, sleep problems, anger, bipolar concerns, and life changes.

Sessions are offered in multiple formats to fit different schedules and needs. Randell aims to create a straightforward plan with each person so therapy focuses on what they want to change and how to make it happen.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Randell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions online often focus on homework, practical skills, and short-term goals that translate well to video or messaging check-ins.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and steady attention. Mindfulness work can include brief guided exercises during a session and simple practices clients can use between appointments to reduce reactivity and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Randell will talk through your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging works well for quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
