About Randall
Dr. Randall Maurer is a Texas-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of experience. He holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology and has worked across private practice, agencies, and in-patient psychiatric settings. He has also taught and trained other therapists and spent years in ministry and seminary training.
He helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Dr. Maurer’s listed interests include blended family issues, parenting and fatherhood concerns, addictions, grief, intimacy-related problems, and communication difficulties.
His approach is practical and solution-focused. He assists clients in finding strengths they already have. Then he helps turn those strengths into concrete steps and short-term plans.
Dr. Maurer uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, existential ideas, and the Gottman Method. He aims to help people recognize patterns, try new behaviors, and track small changes over time.
He respects the role of personal belief when a client wants to address spiritual or religious topics, but he does not impose beliefs. His work includes coaching-style direction when clients want clear goals and action plans.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Dr. Maurer frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices in his work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase focus.He also draws on ideas from the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns. That approach looks at interaction habits and helps people practice different ways of communicating and responding to one another.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods most likely to fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is monitored.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, a session that does not require travel, or an appointment when child care is limited. Different approaches lend themselves to different session activities: CBT is often a good match for homework and worksheets, mindfulness can include short guided practices during a meeting, and Gottman-style work uses turn-taking and practiced conversations that can be done over video. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to the way sessions are scheduled and to the client's day-to-day needs.
