About Richard
Richard Roe is an LPC with 26 years of clinical experience who centers evidence-based practice and collaborative care.
Background and approach
He frequently draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while also integrating acceptance-based and attachment-informed strategies to address emotional wounds and relational concerns. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion when shaping individualized plans that reflect each person's priorities.
His work spans a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, depression, and addictions, along with relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses practical life challenges such as career questions, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and problems with self-esteem or life purpose.
Richard adapts his style to meet the client where they are and collaborates on goals and techniques that fit daily life. Clients can expect a tailored process in which assessment and ongoing feedback guide which skills and perspectives are emphasized.
He recognizes that beginning therapy is a significant step and aims to make the process approachable while maintaining professional clinical standards in Missouri.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical skills for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and many day-to-day stressors by teaching techniques such as cognitive reframing and behavioral experiments.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action. This approach can be useful for coping with chronic pain or illness, grief, and persistent worry by emphasizing meaningful choices rather than symptom elimination.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds to improve communication, intimacy, and relational safety. It can help address abandonment concerns, attachment wounds, and recurring interpersonal difficulties by fostering greater awareness and new ways of connecting.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust strategies over time to find the best fit for progress and daily life demands.
Online therapy with this clinician is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and varied locations. These formats provide flexibility for pacing, homework practice, and ongoing contact so clients can engage in treatment in ways that suit their routines and preferences.
