Richard Roe, LPC

Richard Roe is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

Richard uses straightforward methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new responses. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build small, consistent steps toward those values.

Attachment-based work and client-centered conversation appear in his practice when the history of relationships matters. He pays attention to patterns that started in early attachments and how those patterns affect current communication and intimacy. He will also use dialectical behavior skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

In a typical session he listens, asks focused questions, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. Those exercises can include tracking thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and short skills practice for coping with strong feelings. He frames therapy as a process of trying specific strategies and checking what helps.

Richard notes that not every method fits every person. He aims to work with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, whether that means symptom reduction, better relationships, or more consistent daily routines.
