About Randall
Dr. Randall Maurer is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 35 years of clinical and teaching experience. He combines clinical work and ministry training to address practical problems people bring, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and issues around guilt and shame.
He has a PhD in Counseling Psychology and has trained therapists and ministers for decades. His background includes work in private practice, agencies, and in-patient psychiatric hospitals. That variety shapes a direct, practical approach to problems people face.
In sessions he focuses on identifying strengths and simple actions that can be put into place. He uses solution-focused and strategic ideas to help people find motivation and direction for change. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques when those fit the concern.
He is willing to address spiritual matters when a person wants that included, but he does not impose any religious beliefs. The aim is to help people make changes that make sense for their life and relationships.
People who come to him often want straightforward help with relationship communication, parenting challenges, blended family issues, addiction concerns, or managing chronic pain and illness. He works with issues such as forgiveness, intimacy-related problems, and the persistent burden of guilt and shame.
Appointments begin with a clear plan. He helps people set realistic steps and checks progress over time. That practical focus is meant to help someone move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Maurer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding exercises that people can use during stress or anxious moments.He also draws on elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is the focus, using structured conversations and skill practice to improve how partners talk and solve problems. Those techniques can be adapted to a remote setting by practicing exercises and homework together.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try practical steps and adjust based on what helps. The plan can change over time as needs evolve.
