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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
