I was Randall's client for about a year, then our schedules would not work so unfortunately I had to find a new therapist. Over the course of that time frame, he helped me work on bettering my relationship with myself and my husband, building self-confidence, communication, and understanding my substance abuse. This was my second time, and a much better experience of therapy. I would definitely recommend Randall to friend or colleague.

Hello,
My name is Randall Freitas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I have over ten years of experience and have worked with people from all ages and backgrounds successfully. I have a lot of experience working with people that have experienced trauma. I also completed an additional two years of continuing education courses at San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. I primarily work with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy however, I also understand that sometimes we are all triggered by unconscious thoughts. My experience ranges in working as a therapist at a professional counseling agency, a residential facility, a level one trauma center, outpatient clinics, senior centers and schools.
I treat all clients with respect and dignity. You have already taken the first step towards recovery if you are researching therapists. I hope to speak with you soon .

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
