About Richard
Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. He uses down-to-earth talk and practical tools to help people work through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life changes. He treats problems like sleep and eating issues, addiction, and emotional struggles such as low self-esteem or isolation.
Richard writes treatment plans that fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. He draws from several well-known therapy styles to shape sessions around what actually helps the client.
Background and approach
That can mean learning new skills to handle strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or exploring how attachment patterns affect relationships. Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps a person can try between meetings. Richard aims to create a respectful and sensitive atmosphere in session.
He listens first, then co-creates goals and a plan. He encourages small, manageable changes and checks in on progress regularly. Over his career he has supported people dealing with trauma, bipolar symptoms, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions among other concerns.
He also addresses issues like communication problems, divorce and separation, and challenges around purpose and meaning. The emphasis is on practical strategies that match each person’s needs. For those interested in remote care, Richard offers multiple online formats.
He guides each person through choosing the best way to meet based on their situation and comfort level.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to shift feelings and outcomes. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and some sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. The plan is collaborative - he listens, suggests a direction, and adjusts based on what helps most.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people schedule care around work, caregiving, or health needs and try formats that feel comfortable. Remote formats also make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings with the therapist's guidance.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
