Robert Mace

Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience. He focuses on helping people simplify what feels tangled in their lives so they can move forward. He frames therapy as a practical process with clear steps rather than endless talk. He begins by listening to the client’s most pressing stories. From there he teaches a small number of easy-to-use exercises designed to be practiced between sessions. The aim is to help people develop what he calls "self-therapy" skills they can use on their own. Over 30 years of work, he has drawn on several counseling styles and kept what works. Sessions often include short, concrete tools and practice rather than long theoretical discussion. A bit of humor and creativity are used when helpful. Robert has helped people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and anger, among other concerns. He also supports those facing family issues, relationship problems, chronic illness, and life transitions. His approach emphasizes simple, repeatable practices clients can apply day to day. He prefers working in video sessions and encourages ongoing written journaling between meetings. Prospective clients in Missouri can expect a direct, plainspoken style aimed at creating practical change over time.

Approaches that inform online work and practice

Robert often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and meeting each person where they are. This approach helps people feel understood and develop goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool he uses to identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical steps to change behaviors and moods.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.

If you plan to pursue sessions online, please confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist has expressed a preference for video sessions and values written journaling between meetings as part of ongoing work. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and support continued practice and written exercises between appointments.
