About Randall
Randall Ramirez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and depression, and works in both English and Spanish.
Randall has practiced across behavioral health, social services, residential programs, and health care. He has held management and direct-service roles. That background informs how he balances clinical work with practical system navigation for people who are juggling work, family, and health demands.
His interests include early attachment, complex trauma, and relational problems. He also pays attention to transcultural issues and how prejudice or discrimination can shape a person's experience. He founded and chaired a local interdisciplinary group studying attachment and evidence-based approaches in Santa Clara County.
Randall has experience supporting adoptive parents and has been involved in parent-to-parent work through a faith-based support group for families with children who have special needs. That experience shapes how he talks with parents about fatherhood issues, communication struggles, and managing guilt or shame.
In sessions he draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, and mindfulness. He aims to be practical and direct, helping people identify small, usable steps they can apply between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. In practice this means looking at how current connections and communication styles affect stress and parenting. It can help when attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or relational patterns are part of the problem.Client-centered work centers on the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens and reflects, helping someone clarify what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try an approach and adjust it over time based on how the work feels and what changes are happening.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a location with fewer distractions. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and connect with a licensed professional when in-person visits are difficult.
