About Robert
Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience based in Missouri. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and lists anger among his focus areas.
He favors a straightforward approach summed up as "Keep It Simple." He begins by listening to the client's story, then introduces one practical exercise to try, and follows up by practicing and refining that skill together. The aim is to help people develop repeatable self-therapy habits they can use between sessions.
Over decades of practice he has drawn from several counseling traditions and reduced them to a compact set of tools. Sessions often include short teaching segments, simple exercises, and opportunities to practice new responses to frustrating situations. He also uses light humor and creative examples where they fit.
Robert prefers video sessions because he finds they allow richer exchanges, though he encourages ongoing written check-ins and journaling between meetings. He frames therapy as a collaborative, skill-building process rather than a long lecture. His style is direct and practical, focused on clear steps people can try right away.
People who want fewer abstractions and more concrete tools for handling anger, stress, relationship friction, or addictive patterns may find this approach useful. To begin, he asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can outline the first simple steps together.
How sessions work
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Robert combines Client-Centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to keep sessions practical and action-oriented. Client-Centered work means the therapist listens carefully and follows the person's concerns, helping shape exercises that fit their life. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioral experiments to change reactions, useful for anger, anxiety, and sleep issues. EFT looks at emotions and relationship patterns to help people notice how feelings drive responses and to practice new, calmer ways of connecting.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will talk through goals, try an exercise or two, and together decide which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative trial-and-adjust method keeps sessions focused on what actually helps the client make changes.
This profile notes a preference for video sessions and also encourages written journaling between meetings. If you plan to work online, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online meetings can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support regular written practice between appointments.
