Randee Olive, LSCSW, LCSW

Randee Olive is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience in Kansas. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing issues like parenting strain, career changes, sleep and eating concerns, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.

Her style is client-centered and straightforward. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through what feels most urgent and to build small, practical steps forward. Randee draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.

She also uses attachment-based and dialectical behavior therapy approaches to address relationship patterns and emotional regulation. That means paying attention to how past connections shape current reactions and practicing skills for managing strong feelings. The work combines emotionally focused conversation with concrete skill-building.

Randee’s background spans many focus areas, including ADHD, LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver stress, and coping after abuse. She aims to meet people where they are and adapt methods to each person’s needs. Her goal is to help people gain insight, increase functioning, and feel more able to handle daily life.

People who want a steady, experienced clinician can expect direct teamwork on goals. She encourages clear steps, honest conversation, and gradual progress tailored to the client’s pace and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can assist with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to mood and stress problems. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most in real life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let clients practice skills between sessions in the settings where their challenges occur. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to an online setting so the tools can be used in everyday situations.
