Randye Brittain

Randye Brittain is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with 20 years of experience. She uses a warm, interactive style and centers conversations on each person’s needs. She aims to listen without judgment and to respond with respect and clear, practical steps.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses brief, solution-focused strategies when they fit the situation. These methods are used to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and anger among other concerns.

Randye has worked with people facing adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and family of origin difficulties. She has supported those coping with trauma or abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Her background includes helping people sort through intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and sleep problems.

In sessions she mixes listening with practical tools like relaxation and mindfulness when helpful. She may also use simple exercises drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The focus is on small, doable changes that fit a person’s life.

Randye asks clients to help shape the work and to set goals together. She guides conversations toward solutions while exploring deeper patterns when those feel important. People who want a collaborative, respectful therapist who offers direct strategies and thoughtful listening may find her approach useful.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Randye uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps with relationship strain, grief, and feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve sleep.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, explore deeper life patterns, or use a mix of both approaches.
