Richard Roe , LPC

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and related struggles. He works in Missouri and offers services in English, including to international clients.

He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Conversations and plans are shaped around each person's needs. That can mean short-term skills to handle panic or longer work on grief, relationship concerns, or addiction patterns.

Richard mixes straightforward tools with listening. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach. He explains options, tries techniques, and adjusts what isn’t helping. Sessions often include practical exercises, real-life problem solving, and check-ins on progress.

Richard also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life-direction questions. He supports people working through anger, impulsivity, isolation, and midlife transitions. The focus is on clear steps that make daily life more manageable.

Starting is a simple process: choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on therapist availability. He aims to make the first step easier by offering straightforward guidance and support.

How Richard’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills for changing patterns that cause distress. It helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Richard works together with each person to decide which methods fit best. He explains options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on how things are going so the work stays aligned with the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing coaching possible between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or different time zones while keeping the focus on practical progress.
