About Randye
Randye Brittain is a licensed clinician in Maryland who brings 20 years of experience to conversations about parenting, stress, and relationships. She combines a warm, interactive style with practical tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and daily family strains. Randye uses straightforward language and listens closely to each person’s priorities.
Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas, plus brief solution-focused work when that fits.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete strategies such as mindfulness, relaxation, and feedback-focused exercises to try between meetings. The emphasis is on creating a plan that matches each person’s situation and goals. Randye has worked with people facing adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, immigration-related stress, and caregiving or aging challenges.
She also supports those coping with trauma, loss, exhaustion, and compassion fatigue. Conversations often address sleep, self-esteem, life purpose, and career decisions as they relate to family life. In sessions she aims to avoid labels and to treat people with respect and sensitivity.
Expect an interactive exchange where practical steps are balanced with time to talk about deeper patterns and family of origin issues. The work is paced to what feels manageable. To begin, Randye helps clients map out priorities and builds a simple, flexible plan.
She emphasizes small changes that add up, and she encourages checking progress and adjusting strategies as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Randye commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s own goals so they feel heard and understood; it can help with parenting stress, relationship worries, and feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence moods and actions and gives concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skill-building and behavior changes, or a mix of methods tailored to the person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can fit into busy days or provide ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family schedules and varied routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
