Richard Roe, LPC

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and challenges related to relationships and intimacy. He aims to meet each person where they are and to talk through what matters most in day-to-day life.

He combines several approaches to build a plan that fits each client. Sessions often use skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and set small goals. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationship patterns keep showing up in present life.

Richard works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and issues around self-esteem and body image. He also helps people dealing with career stress, midlife questions, impulsivity, and ADHD-related struggles. He focuses on concrete changes people can try between sessions.

His style is direct and respectful. He listens first, then helps people choose practical steps. He believes treatment should be tailored to the person, not a one-size-fits-all script.

To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability and the subscription plan that fits their needs.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with hard feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, chronic health challenges, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing changes that lead to better daily functioning; it’s often used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people make different choices in how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try options that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people work with licensed professionals from different locations. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match daily life.
