About Randall
Randall MacKendrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience in South Carolina. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Randall also lists social anxiety among the issues he addresses.
He offers straightforward conversations that focus on what is happening now and what can be done next. Sessions typically involve talking through specific problems, clarifying goals, and practicing different ways to respond to difficult feelings. He uses plain language and practical steps rather than jargon.
Randall draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking, client-centered methods to follow the person's lead, and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. He also uses solution-focused work to set short-term goals and systemic thinking to see how relationships and roles affect current problems.
He helps people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity. Other concerns he supports include guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.
Randall aims to help people build clearer insight and better coping skills. He encourages realistic, achievable steps so progress is visible and usable in day-to-day life.
How Randall’s approaches translate to online work
Randall commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low mood by practicing new responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's concerns, helping people feel heard and deciding which issues to focus on together.Finding the best therapeutic fit is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, experiences, and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs evolve.
