About Randi

Randi Butwin is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on relationship dynamics and identity work. She welcomes clients seeking support with connection, communication, and life transitions, including issues related to ADHD, intimacy, parenting, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on helping people move out of harmful relational patterns and toward healthier, more authentic relationships. Randi draws on three years of clinical experience across hospice, school, community clinic, and independent practice settings.

That background includes end-of-life and bereavement support, work with children, teens, parents, and families, and counseling transitional youth who have cut ties with family. In independent practice she has worked with couples using structured methods to strengthen communication and resolve conflict.

Her style blends client-centered principles with evidence-informed tools to meet each person where they are and collaborate on achievable goals. Randi aims to help clients identify strengths, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and create practical steps toward the relationships and life they want.

Blending relational approaches with online care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients uncover their own solutions; this approach supports work on identity development, self-esteem, and relationship decisions by prioritizing the client’s lived experience. The Gottman Method offers structured techniques for improving communication and reducing conflict in partnerships, making it useful for couples work and for people wanting concrete skills to handle tension. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful when addressing life transitions, behavior shifts, or managing ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss each method, align them with the client’s needs and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so therapy stays focused and practical. Clients are invited to share what feels most helpful and to adjust the plan as goals evolve.

Online therapy with Randi can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote options make it easier to access consistent care from California and allow clients to continue work on relationship skills, identity concerns, and coping strategies from locations that suit them.
