Randall McBride, LCSW

Randall McBride is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience supporting adults through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. He earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Brigham Young University and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University, and he has built a practice focused on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and life transitions.

He entered the field to offer practical help to those in need and considers it a professional privilege to walk alongside clients as they work toward their goals. Randall employs a person-centered approach in which the client leads the goals and priorities for therapy, and he complements that orientation with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing.

Sessions emphasize skill-building and real-world application, with an aim that each meeting yields tangible coping strategies, tools, and resources. He often provides weekly assignments and challenges to help clients practice new skills between sessions. Randall combines attentive listening with evidence-informed interventions to empower people seeking a more balanced and peaceful life.

Applying Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes by teaching skills for staying present and taking action aligned with what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people and couples understand relational triggers, build healthier bonds, and improve intimacy and communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and change patterns that contribute to mood and anxiety concerns. CBT is well suited for addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Randall McBride works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most useful and adapt strategies over time.

Offering sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility and access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills in real-world contexts with support from licensed professionals and therapists.
