About Robert
Robert Mace is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 30 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses family and grief issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, bipolar management, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
He favors a straightforward, skills-based approach. He begins by assessing the person's current situation, then teaches a few core self-therapy tools to practice between sessions. The focus is on learning concrete exercises that a person can keep using on their own.
Robert describes a simple, repeatable process: listen to the difficult story, introduce a short exercise that targets the issue, and practice that exercise until it becomes usable. He often brings in light humor and creative ideas to keep work engaging. Sessions emphasize clear steps over long explanations.
Over decades of practice he moved toward fewer techniques used more consistently. That means sessions are practical and action oriented. People who want direct teaching and coached practice tend to fit his way of working.
He prefers video sessions for richer interaction, and he supports ongoing asynchronous messaging or journaling between meetings to reinforce practice. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed intake steps to schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Robert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical way to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT focuses on small, structured exercises that target thinking and behavior patterns and can help with anxiety, mood, and coping skills.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping a person develop their own solutions through clear feedback and guided practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) appears in his stated approaches and is used to identify and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. He collaborates with clients to choose exercises and practices that match the client's goals, pace, and preferences rather than imposing one fixed method.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum with asynchronous messages or journaling between meetings. Because he prefers video sessions for richer exchange, confirm whether video and messaging are available when you schedule. Online meetings make it easier to practice assigned exercises in real life and bring those experiences back to the session for coaching and refinement.
