Richard Roe

Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He focuses on trauma-focused work alongside practical strategies for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and mood concerns. He aims to offer steady, respectful support as people begin difficult conversations and make changes.

He uses Trauma-Focused Therapy combined with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions are shaped to the person, not a one-size-fits-all plan. He adjusts pace and tools to match each person’s priorities and tolerance for change.

Richard centers conversations on concrete problems and daily life. That can mean learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful patterns, or working through painful memories. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating issues, and career or life-purpose struggles.

He brings experience addressing addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and caregiver stress in his work. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and midlife transitions. He aims to help people build clearer goals and steady routines.

His style is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect honest conversation, practical steps between sessions, and ongoing review of what is working. To begin, a simple sign-up and matching process helps connect people with his practice.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the hold of past traumatic events by working through memories, emotions, and reactions in a paced way that matches each person’s readiness. It can help when trauma symptoms interfere with daily life and relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to commit to actions that match personal values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change ways of relating that cause pain or distance.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and the therapist works with clients to set clear short-term goals.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up when life gets busy. Some approaches translate well to online conversation and skills practice, while others are paced differently; the therapist will explain how a given method can be used in remote sessions and adapt exercises to each person’s situation.
