About Richard
Richard Roe uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing hard moments. He is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with 26 years of experience based in Missouri. He meets people where they are and focuses on clear steps rather than jargon.
He helps with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and anger. He also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, and challenges at work.
How Richard works
Additional areas include ADHD, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. In sessions he adapts his style to each person. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to build skills and insight.
He also uses client-centered listening and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit the need. People can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. He focuses on identifying practical strategies for coping, improving communication, and managing emotions.
Goals and steps are reviewed together so progress is clear. Richard encourages small, manageable changes that fit everyday life. He recognizes starting therapy can feel difficult and aims to make the process respectful and steady.
For those ready to begin, he asks for a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and problem behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps improve trust, closeness, and communication in important relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He checks in on what is helping and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person care.
