Many people come to therapy feeling frustrated by patterns they’ve tried to change again and again—patterns that affect their well‑being, their relationships, and their sense of stability. My work focuses on helping clients understand these cycles, gently interrupt them, and move toward change that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. Together, we create space for growth that feels steady, supportive and freeing.
My therapeutic style is warm, humanistic, and person‑centered. I take time to understand the whole person and the experiences that shaped them, with a strong emphasis on trauma‑informed care.

Hello—I’m Randy Carmack, LISW, LICDC. If you’ve been wondering whether your mental health or substance use might be something to look at more closely, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where things don’t feel quite right—maybe stress is harder to manage, relationships feel strained, or patterns around alcohol or other substances have started to cause concern. Taking that first step to explore it can feel uncertain, and even a little overwhelming, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful and lasting change.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
