About Randye

Randye Brittain is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical with 20 years of practice in Maryland. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.

Her work begins by listening without judgment. She aims to treat people with respect and compassion while avoiding labels or assumptions. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs so the conversation and pace fit their situation.

Randye blends several approaches to meet practical concerns. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus on what matters most to the person. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping problems stuck.

She also incorporates psychodynamic and brief solution-focused tools when they suit the goals. When helpful, she adds mindfulness, relaxation, and EFT tapping techniques to manage stress and sleeplessness.

Randye has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, immigration stress, aging concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also helps with career direction, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

If someone is ready to move forward, she works with them to build a practical plan and next steps. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing the intake steps to match with her and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use tools like guided relaxation, worksheets, and homework between sessions to support coping with life changes and daily stressors.
