About Randall
Randall MacKendrick is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling stuck by listening carefully and offering straightforward guidance. Parents and busy adults often choose him when stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life transitions become hard to handle.
Randall uses practical conversation to help clients name patterns and try small changes. He often brings in Systemic Therapy ideas to look at how relationships and roles affect daily life.
Background and approach
He also uses Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people reframe thoughts and practice different behaviors. His style is direct but warm; he balances empathy with clear, goal-focused work. Sessions focus on real problems such as communication breakdowns, caregiving stress, feelings of emptiness, or trouble trusting after betrayal.
He helps clients set realistic steps they can try between meetings. Over his career Randall has guided people through divorce and separation, attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. He pays attention to both current struggles and the life patterns that keep them repeating.
That mix helps people build coping skills and greater emotional stability. Randall practices in South Carolina and offers sessions in English. He works with each person to shape the pace and focus of therapy so it fits their needs and daily life.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Randall often combines Systemic Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and everyday roles influence problems and helps identify small shifts that change interaction patterns. Client-Centered work focuses on listening, validation, and helping clients find their own answers through gentle reflection. CBT breaks down distressing thoughts and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the client's situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist make decisions together about pace and focus so sessions remain useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversation and reading facial cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, ongoing support, or when written reflection helps keep progress steady.
