Robert Mace, LPC

Robert Mace brings three decades of counseling experience to his practice in Missouri. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a simple, practical way of working. He focuses on helping people reduce what gets in the way and then build small daily habits that move them forward.

His style emphasizes clear steps and teachable skills. He listens to the client's story, introduces a short self-therapy exercise, and practices that tool together. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings to manage stress, anxiety, mood, and relationship concerns.

Over many years he has drawn from several approaches while keeping the work straightforward. Robert uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and emotionally-focused ideas to shape sessions that feel direct and useful. He values humor and creativity when it helps a person learn a new habit.

Robert works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleep issues, parenting strains, career shifts, and chronic illness or pain. He also helps people build coping skills for life changes and manage mood conditions like depression and bipolar concerns.

He prefers video sessions but also offers phone calls, live chat, or text-based messaging. Many people are asked to try short exercises between sessions so progress carries over into daily life. To get started, use the site matching process and schedule a time that fits both parties.

Approach and online options that fit your life

Robert combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build useful daily habits. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with small experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and problems like insomnia or unhealthy coping. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and supporting the person's own goals so therapy follows the client's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try simple exercises, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, emotional processing, or a blend of techniques.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller interaction and visual cues, phone can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for focused real-time conversation, and messaging supports ongoing journaling or brief exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills between appointments.
