Robert Mace, LPC

Robert Mace is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Missouri with 30 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship strain, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

He presents therapy as a practical process. He begins by listening to what is most difficult in a person's life. Then he teaches a few straightforward exercises he calls self-therapy tools. Clients practice those tools between sessions and return to refine them.

Robert frames therapy as skill-building rather than long, abstract analysis. Sessions focus on small, repeatable steps someone can use on their own. He also uses moments of humor and creative ideas when they fit the work.

Across decades of practice he has combined several counseling styles into a simpler program. The work often alternates brief teaching with practice and review. That structure is meant to help people move through stuck patterns and redirect energy toward new goals.

People who prefer concrete coaching-style sessions and short exercises may find this approach useful. He asks clients to be ready for a few sessions focused on learning and practicing self-therapy skills before committing to longer work.

Robert favors video sessions for richer interaction and encourages asynchronous messaging or journaling between meetings as part of the process.
