About Robert
Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of clinical experience. He frames therapy around simple, practical steps so people can learn skills they use every day. He often focuses on helping clients clear old patterns and redirect energy toward new goals.
He begins sessions by listening to the story a client brings and identifying the most pressing problems. Then he teaches one or two simple exercises to address those problems.
Background and approach
Clients practice those exercises between sessions to build independent coping skills and greater self-reliance. His work covers many concerns that often overlap in daily life, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and parenting questions. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, chronic pain or illness, and career transitions.
The goal is practical change rather than long lists of techniques. Robert describes his style as down-to-earth and occasionally humorous, with some creative elements when they fit. He favors straightforward instruction and practice over dense theory.
Many people come to him wanting tools they can use right away. Over his career he has drawn on several therapeutic approaches, then simplified them into a compact, teach-and-practice routine. He prefers working via video sessions but also uses phone, live chat, and text messaging for ongoing support.
He sees clients based in Missouri and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy so clients feel understood and can explore their own solutions; this approach helps with stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily struggles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try short exercises and adjust the plan based on what helps most in daily life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets the therapist work with visual cues and interactive teaching, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth, and chat or text messaging supports ongoing journaling and quick practice reminders. These options let people fit sessions around work, care duties, or travel while keeping a regular practice of skills.
