About Randee-Sue

Randee-Sue Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people improve communication, rebuild trust, and manage anxiety or depression.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than long-winded theory. She works with individuals and couples to address relationship and intimacy concerns, including infidelity and communication breakdowns.

She also supports people facing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, and other life stresses like grief, parenting strain, career changes, and caregiving burdens. Randee-Sue blends conversational, skills-based work with goal setting and practical tasks.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, Client-Centered methods to follow each person’s pace, and the Gottman Method ideas when focusing on relationship dynamics. Sessions often include communication practice and concrete steps to try between meetings.

Her background includes a master’s degree from Barry University and a double major from the University of Miami in criminal justice and sociology. Early clinical work involved women's shelters, HIV/AIDS education and groups, and hospice home visits where she provided supportive counseling and planning.

She emphasizes individualized plans that match a person’s goals. That means building a working relationship, setting clear targets, and practicing new skills.

Whether someone is starting therapy for the first time or returning after a break, she offers steady support and hands-on guidance.

Approaches for relationships and mood in online care

Randee-Sue often uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at how couples communicate and rebuild trust. That work focuses on identifying harmful patterns and practicing specific communication skills to increase respect and connection.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and following each person's pace. This approach helps people feel heard while they clarify goals and decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear. The collaboration helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the client.

Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice conversations in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, on-the-go support and are useful for brief updates or coaching between sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
