About Robert
Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. He favors a straightforward approach to therapy that helps people clear old patterns and build practical skills for daily life. He often guides clients who are trying to reduce stress and anxiety and who want simple, repeatable tools to manage problems.
He begins by listening to the specific difficulties a person brings. Then he teaches one or two small exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
Background and approach
Those exercises are meant to become personal self-therapy skills people can use on their own over time. Over three decades of work, he has blended several approaches into a concise program. The focus is on short, teachable techniques drawn from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices.
Sessions emphasize clear steps rather than long theoretical discussions. Humor and a creative outlook are often part of his style. Meetings are practical and goal-oriented, with space to name feelings and test new ways of responding.
He encourages ongoing written reflection or messaging as a way to keep progress moving. Work is offered from Missouri and conducted in English. Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People who want direct teaching, simple routines, and concrete practice may find this approach a good fit.
Approach and online care that fits your schedule
Robert Mace blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to focus on what matters now. Client-centered work means the therapist pays close attention to a person’s story and follows their lead while offering support. Cognitive behavioral work breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches small, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.He also uses elements of emotionally focused thinking when it helps to clarify attachment or relational concerns, helping people notice their emotional responses and try new ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk through goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels useful and doable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow visual cues for teaching exercises and role play. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, keep a running journal, or get brief coaching without a full appointment. These options make it easier to practice skills and keep momentum during change.
