Richard Roe, LPC

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and addiction. His approach is straightforward and respectful, and he aims to meet people where they are.

He uses practical talk therapy to help clients name what feels hard and to make step-by-step changes. Sessions focus on clear goals like managing anger, improving sleep, addressing eating or body image concerns, and finding purpose after big life changes. Richard also helps people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

Richard draws on a mix of well-known methods to guide sessions, then tailors the conversation and plan to each person. He emphasizes collaboration, so clients take part in choosing techniques that fit their lives. The work can include learning new coping skills, practicing acceptance, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

His background includes many years in clinical settings across Missouri, giving him experience with a wide range of problems and life stages. He treats each person with sensitivity and compassion and adjusts pace to what feels manageable.

Taking the first step can be hard, and Richard recognizes that. He encourages people to reach out and begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if his style and focus align with their needs.

Online use of ACT, Attachment, and Client-Centered Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. It often focuses on making small, meaningful changes even when tough feelings remain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathetic listening and reflective feedback to help someone clarify goals and feel understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Treatment is collaborative, so adjustments are made together if a technique isn’t helping.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit into busy days. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove the need to be on camera for those who prefer phone conversations. Ask about available formats when you sign up so you can pick what fits your routine.
