About Richard

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He focuses on practical, real-world help for common and painful struggles. He speaks plain language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions often include learning concrete skills to handle stress and anxiety, talking through grief and loss, and developing ways to cope with anger and difficult memories. He also supports people dealing with addictions, changes at work, or struggles with self-esteem and body image.

Attachment issues and abandonment concerns are part of his focus, along with communication problems and intimacy-related worries. He helps people who face chronic illness or caregiver stress find ways to manage daily life and emotional strain. He also works with issues such as impulsivity, isolation, and midlife transitions.

Richard draws on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs and goals rather than using a single roadmap.

He asks clients to take the first step by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. International clients may be supported, and sessions are arranged according to scheduling options.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on committed action toward their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and impulse control. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current feelings and connections, and it helps people understand and improve patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what seems to help, then suggest ways to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes access possible for people living far from providers or who have mobility or caregiving constraints. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, worksheets, and coping strategies to work well in remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
