Randee Olive

Randee Olive is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma. She draws on nearly 19 years of clinical experience in Kansas to support clients through hard life changes. Her style aims to be warm, direct, and practical so people feel understood and can try new ways of coping.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to address painful memories and reactions. Randee also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose values-based actions, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.

Her practice is client-centered and attachment-aware, so sessions begin with the person’s priorities. Conversations often focus on building emotional awareness, improving communication, and creating small, doable steps toward goals. She helps with relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, intimacy, parenting stress, and workplace strain among many other topics.

Randee has worked across a wide range of focus areas including adoption and foster care, attachment issues, aging concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, body image, and coping with medical challenges such as cancer. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and co-occurring conditions using blended methods that fit each person.

To begin, the process involves a short questionnaire to match needs and then scheduling according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How approaches like Trauma-Focused Therapy and ACT translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process distressing memories and reduce the ways those memories affect daily life. Sessions often include gentle pacing, grounding techniques, and strategies to manage strong emotions so memories become easier to carry.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. The approach emphasizes clarifying personal values and choosing actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Randee treats finding the right method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest approaches to try. The plan can shift over time based on what helps most for symptoms, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are set by individual providers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer continuity during times of change. Licensed professionals can adapt Trauma-Focused Therapy and ACT for remote work, focusing on practical skills, emotion regulation, and goal-focused exercises that translate to home life.
