    About Randi

    Randi Butwin is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who helps teens and adults facing relationship and identity challenges. She focuses on people navigating difficult breakups, stepping away from harmful relationships, and finding a clearer sense of self. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at helping clients take practical next steps in their lives.

    She uses conversations that center the client’s goals and values. Sessions help people clarify what they want, make changes, and cope with stress and anxiety along the way. Randi also works with parents and young adults on communication and self-esteem concerns.

    Her background includes work in hospice offering end-of-life and bereavement support. She has experience in school settings with children, teens, parents, and families. She has also worked in a community clinic with transitional youth who needed to separate from unsafe family situations.

    In private practice she has supported couples and individuals around intimacy, identity development, and relationship skills. She brings approaches that encourage self-reflection and practical change, and she tailors conversations to each person’s situation.

    Randi holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT. She has three years of professional experience and practices in California. Sessions are offered in English, and international clients are not accepted at this time.

  2. How Randi’s Methods Translate to Online Work

    Randi draws on Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy in sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and is useful for goals like leaving harmful relationships or improving self-care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on the client’s strengths to support identity development and relationship decisions.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Randi will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust as progress is made.

    Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care when schedules change, helping people keep momentum while working toward their goals.
