Randell Gudgel

Randell Gudgel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. He leads with a straightforward offer: a calm place to talk when life feels hard and moving forward seems difficult. Randell focuses on building resilience and balance so people can face the day with clearer direction and fewer overwhelming moments.

Randell helps people identify personal strengths and practical steps they can take between sessions. He uses common-sense language and collaborative planning rather than jargon. Sessions emphasize understanding what is getting in the way now and creating doable habits to change it.

His background includes long-term clinical work across stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, and anger. He also supports people coping with addiction, ADHD, career changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, sleeping problems, and trauma and abuse. These areas are part of his ongoing practice and inform how he shapes each session.

Randell draws from several approaches to fit the person in front of him, including cognitive behavioral techniques, existential questions about meaning, mindfulness practices to manage distress, and narrative work to reframe personal stories. He works with adults and couples and accepts private pay and several insurance plans.

People who prefer direct, practical guidance and a mix of talking and actionable steps will likely find his style a good match. He invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and start from there.

Using CBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative Work Online

Randell draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term tools for anxiety, mood, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and improve sleep. These practices are short exercises people can use between sessions to manage strong feelings. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to open new choices and meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Randell will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits real life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can offer the same types of discussion, skill practice, and homework assignments that happen in office sessions, adapted to an online setting.
