Randi Senciboy, LCSW

Randi Senciboy is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Missouri. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and practical, with attention to what someone needs in the moment.

She brings seven years of professional experience in mental health settings. That work included crisis line support, supported living services, case management, in-home social services, and outpatient therapy. Those roles shaped a flexible approach that fits different life situations.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and workable steps. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build skills for coping with stress and trauma. Randi also addresses issues like parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, and the challenges of chronic illness or pain.

Randi offers support for people facing identity and relationship concerns, including LGBT-related issues and intimacy matters. She also assists those coping with loss, abandonment histories, adoption and foster care connections, and complex trauma. The work can include communication practice, boundary-setting, and planning for safer routines.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then co-designs a plan with practical steps and measurable goals. Sessions can include brief skill teaching, problem-solving, and space to process strong emotions. The aim is steady progress that fits everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Randi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments that reduce distress. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which often fits well into video or phone sessions where homework and check-ins can be assigned.

She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and responding to what the person needs in the moment. That style creates space for someone to describe feelings and get validation during a chat, text message, or conversation on video.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Randi will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, solution-focused strategies, or trauma-informed methods best match the situation. The plan is developed collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical advantages: video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and emotion work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or step-by-step problem solving between sessions. These options help fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on clear goals and useful skills.
