About Richard
Richard Roe is a licensed counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on clear, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, depression, and addiction. His work includes support for relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, sleeping and eating issues, and career or life-change struggles.
He uses straightforward talk and structured tools. Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and time to reflect on personal values.
Background and approach
Richard draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to match techniques to what each person needs. Richard also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress. He addresses difficult feelings like shame, guilt, abandonment, and impulsivity, and helps people repair communication and build stronger boundaries.
In sessions he aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. He works with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals and everyday life. Many people find that mixing skill-building with values-based goals helps them manage symptoms while moving toward a clearer purpose.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. He encourages small steps and will help guide scheduling, session format, and an initial plan. Richard treats the process as a collaboration where the person sifts options and chooses what feels most useful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building committed steps toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, mood issues, sleep and eating problems, and managing symptoms like worry or low motivation.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and close relationships shape current patterns in connection and trust. This approach can be useful for intimacy concerns, abandonment issues, communication problems, and rebuilding closer bonds with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days, travel, or varying schedules while working with a licensed professional.
