Randell Gudgel, LPC

Randell Gudgel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. He leads Resilience & Balance Counseling and focuses on helping people take practical steps when life feels overwhelming. He speaks English and accepts international clients.

Randell aims to give people a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. He helps clients identify strengths and small changes that make daily life more manageable. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and try new ways of coping.

His work covers a wide range of issues including self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting strain, sleep trouble, and career stress. He also supports people navigating intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and bipolar-related challenges. The focus is practical help for living better day to day.

Randell uses methods that match each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, existential ideas, and narrative perspectives. He believes therapy should be a collaboration – pacing work to fit what a person wants and needs.

Sessions at Resilience & Balance Counseling are organized through a subscription system that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. This keeps the process straightforward for people seeking help.

How therapy approaches shape online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage mood. It often involves practical exercises and brief homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. These techniques help people notice patterns and choose different responses in everyday moments.

Randell sees choosing an approach as a shared process. He will talk with each person about their goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then try methods that fit. If something isn’t working, he adjusts the plan together with the client rather than sticking to one model.

For online therapy logistics, please confirm available session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten commute time, allow check-ins between obligations, and make scheduling easier around work or family. Online work can also make it simpler to continue progress when life gets hectic, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and coping skills that transfer into daily routines.
