Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello!
Welcome to the BetterHelp community! My name is Randy Beasley I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist here in California. I have been providing psychotherapy and emotional growth services for a wide variety of issues within a number of roles for the past 10+ years.
A little bit about me, I graduated with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business from Biola University and completed a Masters Degree in Theology from Liberty University. I was pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Theology when I felt therapy was a better way for me to help people. I completed my Master of Arts Degree from Touro University in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Previously I worked as a pastor and Christian camp director developing curriculum and teaching. I have experience working with addiction, foster services, wraparound, competency restoration, and couples/family therapy having worked within community-based clinics, substance use treatment facilities, a state hospital, and jail. I have received training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, managing adaptive practices, interpersonal therapy, The Gottman Method, as well as being a certified Mandt trainer (crisis intervention) and strength deployment inventory (motivational values psychometric) facilitator.
I would describe my approach as goal-oriented and client-centered. I use solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and an existential therapy approach to foster awareness while developing pragmatic solutions to problems. Goals are developed together and focused on changing patterns of thinking or behaviors driven by unmet needs, when these change we frequently change how we feel.
I believe healing hinges on the relationships you develop and progress ultimately follows an individual conquest of fear and acceptance of responsibility. I hope to make that journey with you.

Prof. Randolph (Randy) Beasley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with five years of professional experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related struggles, eating disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from Biola University and a Master of Theology from Liberty University. While pursuing a doctoral degree in theology he decided to shift his focus to clinical care and completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy at Touro University.
Earlier in his career he served as a pastor and as a Christian camp director, where he developed curriculum and led teaching programs. His clinical background includes work with addiction services, foster care and wraparound programs, competency restoration, and couples and family therapy within community-based clinics, substance use treatment facilities, a state hospital, and a county jail.
He has training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, managing adaptive practices, interpersonal therapy, and The Gottman Method, and he is a certified Mandt trainer for crisis intervention as well as a facilitator for the Strength Deployment Inventory motivational values assessment. His therapeutic stance is goal-oriented and client-centered, combining solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential approaches to increase awareness and to develop practical solutions.
Goals are created collaboratively and emphasize changing patterns of thinking or behavior that stem from unmet needs – when those patterns shift, emotional experience often follows. He believes that healing depends on the relationships people build and on an individual journey of confronting fear and accepting responsibility, and he aims to accompany clients through that work.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, evidence indicates that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to maintain consistency and to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different clinician if they need a better fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, effective route to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns while accommodating personal commitments and preferences.
