About Richard
Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He works with adults on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and addiction. Richard also addresses relationship and family concerns as well as intimacy-related issues and challenges with self-esteem and sleep.
He combines practical talking therapy with behavior-focused skills. Sessions are direct and conversational. He listens for patterns drawn from attachment and life history and uses that to guide interventions. He leans on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage difficult feelings and make clearer choices.
Richard also works with concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and issues around control and impulsivity. He supports people coping with divorce, separation, and midlife questions, and those facing guilt, shame, or isolation. His approach often brings together emotion-focused work and skills training to address both feeling states and everyday behaviors.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and to build skills that fit everyday life. He adapts conversations to the problems people bring, whether that is grief, career stress, or questions about life purpose. Many adults find this mix of practical skill-building and exploration helpful when home life feels strained.
To begin, the typical pathway is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Richard accepts clients who wish to work in English and welcomes international clients as part of his practice.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Richard uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and emotions without getting stuck, and to clarify what matters so they can take actions that reflect those values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting attention from avoidance to purposeful action.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and reacting. This work is useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, or communication problems in their current relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard collaborates with each person to decide what methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting plans over time and combining skills training with deeper emotional work when appropriate.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into daily life more easily, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel time. A therapist can also recommend whether sessions should focus more on skill practice or on exploring attachment patterns depending on the issue you bring.
