Randall MacKendrick, LPC

Randall MacKendrick is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling anxious, depressed, isolated, or unsure about their relationships. He focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable and to strengthen how people connect with others.

Randall speaks plainly and works directly with each person’s concerns. He listens for patterns in self-esteem, attachment, communication, and control issues. Then he helps set realistic goals and small steps to reach them. Sessions aim to increase understanding and build skills that can be used between meetings.

His background blends several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, psychodynamic thinking, solution-focused tools, and systemic perspectives. He adapts those ideas to the needs people bring into the room rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. This lets him combine short-term strategies with deeper exploration when it’s useful.

Randall often works on matters like abandonment fears, commitment worries, caregiving stress, infidelity, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness. He also helps with guilt, shame, family conflict, and finding life purpose. Conversations include both practical problem solving and looking at longer-term patterns that affect relationships.

Based in South Carolina, he offers therapy in English and is available through the site's matching process. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and supported while they make decisions about relationships and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions stick with problem-solving tools, explore deeper life patterns, or combine both approaches.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let people choose audio-only conversations if video is not preferred. Ask about current options to make sure scheduling and format fit everyday life.
