About
Dale Rudesill is a California-licensed therapist with 30 years of clinical experience who helps people cope with life’s challenges, including the relationship with self, relationships with others, and one’s connection to the wider world.
He is a gay, older, non-religious, liberal male therapist who specializes in LGBT concerns, relationship issues, parenting, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. His license is CA LMFT 32793 - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California.
Dale’s strength is brief, solution-focused therapy. He works to clarify problems, identify emotional blocks and conflicts, and move toward achievable solutions. His approach is science-based and grounded in a systems perspective - attending to the development of self, patterns of relationship, and the evolution of community within the natural world. He also uses recognized practices such as sensing meditation.
He works collaboratively with clients to create an honest and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment, and where greater self-awareness and empowerment can be sought. Please note that Dale is semi-retired and maintains a limited schedule, seeing clients only on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. He limits contact to weekly sessions and often takes breaks to travel - with notice - so he may be unavailable for a week or more at times.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit of remote sessions is flexibility. People can connect in whatever format suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals provide online care, and clients can change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible option for those seeking support with everyday mental health and relationship concerns.How much experience does Dale Rudesill have?
