About Richard

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, and ADHD.

He also supports those coping with life changes, career concerns, self-esteem struggles, and intimacy-related issues. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs instead of using one fixed approach.

Background and approach

Richard uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with painful feelings, and attachment-informed work to improve close relationships. Sessions often include clear skills, short exercises, and homework people can try between meetings. He aims for a straightforward, compassionate style.

The therapist listens first, then helps set small, doable goals. People who want coaching around career or coping skills will find practical tools alongside emotional support. Richard encourages people who feel nervous about starting therapy.

He will partner with clients to build a plan that fits their pace and priorities. If you want someone who combines experience with down-to-earth guidance, he may be a fit for your next step.

Approach-based care delivered online

Richard often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. ACT uses values and small actions to reduce getting stuck on painful thoughts and helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. CBT sessions focus on skill practice and short exercises that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulsivity over time.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help choose which techniques feel most useful for their situation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging helps people keep continuity between meetings. These options let people fit care around work, caregiving, or other commitments while accessing experienced licensed professionals.
