Richard Roe, LPC

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered care and aims to make the first step feel achievable for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

He uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. He also supports those facing trauma, addiction, depression, sleep or eating problems, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Midlife crisis and life purpose are among the areas he helps people sort through.

His approach blends several methods so sessions fit the person sitting across from him. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance-based work to build values-driven action. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening shape how he responds in the room.

Sessions are tailored to what each person needs. He will work with you to set clear goals and adjust the plan as progress is made. Conversations are practical and focused on everyday change rather than jargon.

Over his career he has helped people with caregiving strain, chronic illness, relationship and communication problems, and issues like impulsivity, isolation, and forgiveness. He encourages realistic next steps and small, steady shifts that add up over time.

How his approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that line up with those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions like midlife concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and routine mood management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy, abandonment worries, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision happens together, and the plan can shift as needs change.

The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options when you sign up. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let a therapist use worksheets, behavior experiments, and in-the-moment coaching to support day-to-day changes.
