About Randell
Randell Gudgel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. He works with adults who are having trouble facing the day and want to move forward. Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, depression, addictions, ADHD, and career or life changes.
Randell focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. He helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Together they choose approaches that fit the person's situation and goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels useful in everyday life.
His background includes long-term practice helping people rebuild routines and manage strong emotions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts, and on mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. Narrative and existential ideas are used to examine meaning and values when people face loss, transitions, or identity questions.
Randell often pairs skill practice with longer conversation about values and choices. He aims to help people regain steady footing after setbacks and to develop clearer ways to handle frustration and anger. Practical problem solving and short-term coaching are part of the work when those are appropriate.
Sessions may include working on sleep, coping with compassion fatigue, and addressing parenting stress alongside personal symptoms. He also supports clients exploring sexual orientation and LGBT related concerns. International clients who speak English may be able to work with him, and session arrangements are coordinated through the site.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Randell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes homework like tracking moods and trying small behavior changes, which fits well with remote sessions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management; those practices can be taught and practiced in online meetings or brief between-session exercises.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills training, reflective conversation, or coaching elements based on what helps most.
