About Randell
Randell Gudgel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. Randell aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can talk frankly and begin rebuilding balance in daily life.
He works with adults and couples and brings practical problem-solving to concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy questions, sleep problems, anger, career shifts, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Randell uses approaches that match each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to reduce reactivity, and narrative ideas to help people make sense of their stories.
These methods aim to create small, achievable changes that add up over time. Sessions include talking and short exercises to practice between meetings. He encourages goal-setting and checks progress in straightforward ways so people can see change.
Counseling can also involve working through one-time crises or longer transitions depending on what someone needs. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comforts. International clients can be supported in English.
To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match people to a good starting plan.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Randell commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that lead to difficult feelings and then practice new ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to parenting or work. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger, compassion fatigue, and ongoing worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs shift and progress is tracked over time.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video lets people meet face-to-face; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers to be off camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and maintain consistency over time.
