About Richard

Richard Roe is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve sleep. He speaks plainly and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Richard frames sessions around the person in front of him. He listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to each person’s needs. That might mean short-term skills for coping with panic or longer work on patterns that keep someone stuck.

He has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, depression, and addictive behaviors. He also supports those facing career change, caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image struggles, and problems with relationships or intimacy. Sleep and resting better are named areas of focus within his practice.

Richard draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-based work, dialectical behavior strategies, and a client-centered stance. He uses those tools to help people notice patterns, build new habits, and practice useful skills.

He encourages a steady, collaborative pace. Progress can look like better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer priorities, or stronger boundaries. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with sleep, depression, and anxiety by teaching concrete skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and may shift as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum while working on sleep, coping skills, emotional regulation, and daily routines.
