Robert Mace, LPC

Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience in Missouri. He guides people through change by helping them clear what no longer works and build straightforward habits for daily life. His approach centers on teaching practical self-help skills that clients can use on their own between sessions.

He begins by listening to the stories that cause stress or keep someone stuck. From that starting point he offers a simple exercise targeted to the issue. Clients are invited to practice the exercise and then review progress in the next session. This cycle is repeated until the person feels more in control of their thoughts and habits.

His background spans many counseling styles, but he focuses on keeping techniques easy to use. A sense of humor and creative ideas are often part of sessions. Over decades of work he developed a compact program of short lessons and repeatable tools meant to build lasting everyday skills.

Sessions emphasize practical change rather than lengthy theory. Robert works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship struggles, ADHD, grief, and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues tied to chronic pain, codependency, and family of origin problems using brief, skill-based exercises.

People who prefer clear steps and take-home practice tend to fit his style. He favors video sessions and encourages ongoing written journaling between meetings as a way to track practice and change.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of him; it helps people feel heard while they identify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits that interfere with daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name feelings and patterns in close relationships so they can respond differently rather than react on impulse.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He listens to the problem, discusses options, and then suggests simple exercises to try. Clients and the therapist review what works and adjust the plan together as needed.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week and to keep consistent practice between meetings. The biography notes a preference for video sessions and encourages asynchronous journaling between meetings, so confirm available formats when you schedule. Online meetings can make it simpler to have regular short check-ins, keep a practice routine, and review written exercises without needing extra travel time.
