Randye Brittain, LCSW-C

Randye Brittain is a Maryland-based LCSW-C who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage life stress and emotional pain. She combines practical tools with thoughtful conversation to address anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. Randye draws on two decades of clinical experience to keep sessions focused and empathic.

Her sessions begin with listening. She creates room for people to say what matters most and then tailors next steps to each situation. That might mean using cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, drawing on psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns, or using brief solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals.

Randye has supported people coping with trauma, abuse, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, and immigration-related stress. She also helps with aging and geriatric issues, isolation and loneliness, career transitions, and caregiving strain. Her work includes attention to sleep problems, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.

The therapist favors a warm, interactive style that avoids labels and assumptions. Mindfulness, relaxation, and tapping may be included when they fit the plan. Sessions aim to be respectful, practical, and responsive to each person’s pace.

With 20 years of experience, Randye focuses on making therapy useful in everyday life. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of coping, and track progress over time. If someone wants steady support while navigating change, she offers collaborative guidance.

How Randye’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to set goals and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thought patterns that lead to distress and practice new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday worries because it provides clear tools and exercises to try between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas explore recurring patterns and past influences that shape how someone responds now. Online sessions can use this approach to make sense of relationships, family of origin issues, and long-standing emotional themes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, try approaches, and adjust plans based on how things are going. That means goals and techniques are chosen together rather than imposed.

If you’re considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so work or caregiving demands are simpler to manage. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
