Nicole Randel is a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Iowa (IA LISW 091022) with 6 years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their circumstances and life experiences.
Randel works with clients aged 4 and older and uses a solution-focused, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach. She aims to keep the therapeutic environment relaxed, authentic, and grounded, and she can incorporate dry or dark humor when appropriate for the client.
Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, intimacy-related concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues, including care for gay clients. She also has extensive experience supporting professionals in emergency services - such as nurses, medical providers, EMTs, and paramedics - and is trained in A-TIP (acute traumatic incident processing). She is a female therapist and is listed with specialties that include LGBT and gay-focused work; she is also identified as a liberal therapist.
Randel recognizes that reaching out for help can be difficult and she welcomes inquiries about how she might support each person’s unique journey. Prospective clients are encouraged to contact her to discuss whether her approach is a good fit for their needs.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or transitions in life - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience indicate that these issues often respond well to remote treatment formats.
A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of connection that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from a preferred location.
All therapists providing remote services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. This combination of professional training and flexible access helps many people get timely, consistent support without rearranging their whole life.
