About Richard
Richard Roe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Missouri with 26 years of experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. He also addresses depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.
His approach centers on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on identifying difficult emotions and the ways they show up in relationships and daily life. He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than technical language.
Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflective questions, and skill-building. He pays attention to attachment and to patterns that keep people stuck. When helpful, he will introduce exercises to notice thoughts, name feelings, and try new responses in real situations.
Richard frames therapy as a collaborative process. He works with people to set goals, revisit progress, and adjust plans when needed. That can mean short-term coping tools or longer work on deeper emotional patterns.
His background includes broad clinical experience across many concerns such as midlife issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and problems with communication and control. Sessions are conducted in English, and he accepts international clients. Follow the site steps to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Richard uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck, especially in relationships and attachment-related issues. It helps when feelings are hard to put into words or keep showing up as repeated fights or withdrawal. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take action toward personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how they shape responses to stress and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That process is collaborative and may mix methods over time as goals change.
