About Richard

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, depression, and a range of life changes. He also works with concerns like addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and men's issues.

He aims to meet people where they are and tailors conversations to each person's situation. Sessions emphasize clear goals and down-to-earth strategies rather than jargon. That can include working on communication, coping skills, and ways to manage strong emotions.

Richard uses several therapy approaches to match different needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values while managing difficult thoughts. He uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

He also uses Client-Centered work to create a respectful and nonjudgmental space, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for learning practical skills. These methods are adapted to someone’s goals and pace.

Richard stresses collaboration and respect in each session. He invites people to try small changes and see what works, then adjusts the plan as needed. Taking that first step is acknowledged and valued throughout the process.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and on taking small actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping people understand and shift those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose or blend methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape treatment tasks and homework in a way that feels manageable.

Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care when relocating or travelling. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and skills training to the online setting so the work remains practical and focused on real-life change.
