About Richard
Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. He speaks English and works with clients using straightforward, respectful language.
Richard uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He leans on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take action.
Background and approach
He also draws on attachment and client-centered methods to strengthen relationships and emotional safety. In sessions he listens first, then helps build a plan the client can use between meetings. That plan might include short exercises, new ways to cope with anger or cravings, or steps to tackle sleep and eating concerns.
He keeps goals practical and focused on daily life improvements. Richard has worked across many concerns including addictions, career stress, self-esteem problems, chronic illness challenges, and issues around intimacy and communication. He also addresses specific struggles like abandonment, control issues, guilt, and midlife transitions.
Beginning therapy often feels hard. He aims to make the first meetings simple and predictable. Clients work together with him to set achievable goals and to check progress over time.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Richard uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people manage symptoms and make values-based choices. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that align with what matters to the person.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to weigh different methods and tailor sessions to their goals, preferences, and life demands. The plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
