About Randy
Randy Stern is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and parenting challenges. She guides clients through grief, boosts self-esteem, and supports work on intimacy-related concerns. Randy offers steady, practical support for people coping with life changes and low motivation.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Randy encourages clients to describe what is most pressing, then she helps turn those concerns into small, concrete steps.
Background and approach
The work often focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors between sessions. Randy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which pairs short-term thinking tools with homework between appointments. That approach is practical for anxiety, low mood, and relationship stress.
She adapts interventions to each person’s day-to-day routines and goals. Her background includes four years of professional practice as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, in Florida. That experience has included supporting people through grief, postpartum depression, caregiver stress, and workplace difficulties.
She also addresses body image, eating-related concerns, and issues connected to aging and cancer. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Randy supports people who want a calm, direct approach to problems and who prefer clear steps they can try between meetings.
She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for people juggling busy lives.

How CBT and online formats support everyday parenting and stress
Randy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test small changes and see what helps. This method is often useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Randy works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what is working and adjust methods as needs change, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls are good for more in-depth work that benefits from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit a break during the day or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options offer flexibility and consistent access to support while focusing on meaningful, manageable change.
