About Randall
Dr. Randall Maurer brings more than three decades of clinical and training experience to his practice.
Background and approach
He holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, in Texas. He draws on years of work in independent practice, agencies, and in-patient psychiatric settings.
He also has seminary training and ministry experience that he will include only when a client wants to address spiritual concerns. Randall focuses on helping people make concrete changes.
He looks for practical strengths and resources a person already has. Then he helps build steps that fit each person’s life and goals.
He says he will never push religious beliefs on anyone. His approach blends evidence-based methods with goal-focused coaching.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. He incorporates the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are a focus and he draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning.
He also offers mindfulness work and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Clients commonly come for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, or life transitions.
He also addresses blended family concerns, chronic illness or pain, commitment and communication problems, and issues tied to family of origin. He works to make plans that are doable and clear.
Sessions aim to be warm and practical. Randall uses encouragement and strategic steps so people can try changes between sessions.
He helps clients track progress and adjust plans as life shifts.
Practical approaches for online therapy and relationship work
Dr. Maurer uses several proven approaches that translate well to online sessions. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and building constructive habits in relationships. It emphasizes skills you can practice between sessions to reduce conflict and increase closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches step-by-step changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made along the way based on what feels most helpful and what produces real change in daily life.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for people with busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist observe nonverbal cues and work interactively. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps with clarity. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or health-related routines.
