About Robert
Robert Mace is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with 30 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and self-esteem concerns among many other life challenges. He also works with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, anger, career shifts, bipolar, ADHD, and chronic pain or illness.
Robert describes his working style as straightforward and practical. He begins by listening to a person’s current struggles. Then he teaches a small number of concrete exercises that people can practice on their own. The goal is to develop skills people can keep using after formal sessions end.
His method follows a simple pattern: listen to the difficult story, introduce one short self-therapy tool, and practice it together. Sessions repeat that cycle so new skills become habits. He uses humor and creative examples when they fit the moment.
Robert draws on several approaches to guide his work, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. He aims to keep interventions clear and manageable rather than complicated.
People who prefer step-by-step tools and a pragmatic teaching style often find his approach accessible. He encourages ongoing practice and uses brief exercises meant for daily life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling a first appointment.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Robert commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and respond to strong emotions that affect relationships. EFT focuses on recognizing patterns of feeling and connection and can help when emotions feel confusing or hard to express.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Each approach offers different tools for stress, anxiety, eating and sleeping problems, and relationship concerns.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That process may include trying an exercise in session and adjusting it for everyday life.
Confirm current session formats before booking. His biography indicates a preference for video sessions and encourages around-the-clock asynchronous messaging or journaling as a supplement. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so practice and follow-up fit into daily routines.
