About Carlita

Carlita Randall is an LCMHC in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and issues such as guilt and shame. She also supports people coping with life changes, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and substance problems.

Randall combines practical talk with goal-focused tools. She uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behavior. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused steps when clients want skills for emotion regulation and problem solving.

Sessions include discussion of current struggles and concrete strategies to try between meetings. She often suggests small homework tasks to practice new skills and notice what changes. She pays attention to how physical wellbeing links with mood and coping, and she may include body-focused suggestions as part of plans.

Her background includes long experience treating trauma and mood-related concerns, and she lists trauma-focused work among her approaches. Over the years she has supported people dealing with addictions, panic symptoms, social anxiety, paranoia, and grief.

People considering therapy can expect direct conversation about goals and practical steps. She accepts international clients and offers services in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with what matters most to the person. The therapist listens and shapes sessions around the client's priorities, building on strengths and concerns to set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. For problems like anxiety, panic, mood shifts, or guilt and shame, CBT offers practical experiments and simple homework to change patterns over time. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make everyday life harder. Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made, with decisions discussed openly. Confirm the current online session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it easier to attend from wherever they are. Practical benefits include scheduling flexibility and the ability to continue work even during life changes; discuss format and timing when you schedule the first appointment.
