About Robert
Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people simplify their struggles so they can move forward. His style is straightforward and practical with a sense of humor when appropriate.
Robert bases work on short, clear steps. He listens to what is most troubling and teaches a small set of exercises people can use on their own. The aim is to help people build ongoing self-therapy skills they can practice between sessions.
How Robert works
Over decades of practice he found simpler routines often produce steady change. He uses that insight to help people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports those handling grief, trauma and abuse, sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, and major life changes.
Robert draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused work, existential perspectives, and mindfulness tools. Sessions focus on clear techniques, short practices, and taking small steps that fit daily life. He encourages creativity and occasional humor to reduce pressure and keep work manageable.
He practices in Missouri and conducts work in English. People who prefer regular teaching-style sessions and learning practical exercises may find his approach a good fit. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step will set the next appointment.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy that teaches skills
Client-centered work puts the client's experience first and uses listening and reflection to guide each session. This helps people feel heard and helps the therapist tailor exercises to what matters most in a person's life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and habits tied to addictions by giving clear exercises to practice between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people notice, name, and shift difficult emotional cycles that affect intimacy and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as skills are learned and needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for richer conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or visual attention is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing journaling and support. Those options make it easier to practice exercises between sessions and keep progress moving despite a busy schedule.
