About Carlita
Carlita Randall is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She welcomes people who are ready to make changes and offers a steady, respectful presence during that process. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood.
Randall uses a client-centered foundation, meaning conversations start with the person in front of her. She combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior work. Sessions often include small assignments between meetings to try out new skills and track progress.
She pays attention to both emotional and physical factors that affect well-being. That can mean noticing how sleep, movement, or stressors outside therapy change how someone feels inside a session. The work focuses on what a person wants to change and on building steps toward those goals.
Carlita has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood issues, and relationship strain. She also addresses parenting challenges, grief, shame and forgiveness, and coping with life changes and disasters.
People meet her for straightforward conversations, practical strategies, and support while they try new ways of coping. She takes time to make sure the match feels right before moving forward with a plan.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the individual's goals and experience, offering a supportive space where the person leads what to work on. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit those goals and preferences. That means learning together which techniques help and adjusting the plan as needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when a brief session is helpful. It also lets people practice skills in their usual settings and then discuss how those practice attempts went during the next meeting.
