About Robert
Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people clear out old patterns and move toward new directions. His style favors simple, practical steps that clients can use on their own.
He describes therapy as a short series of clear actions. First he listens to the challenges a person brings. Then he teaches a single, easy exercise to try between sessions. The goal is to help people develop do-it-yourself skills they can use outside the room.
Across decades of practice he pared methods down to a straightforward program. Sessions typically follow a pattern of listening, teaching one tool, and practicing it. He encourages repetition so those tools become habits over time.
Robert often brings lightness and creativity into sessions. He sees humor and art as practical ways to shift perspective when people feel stuck. He asks people to decide if they want a teaching-focused series based on learning self-therapy skills.
He prefers to work by video because it allows richer interaction, and he supports ongoing written journaling between sessions. He works from Missouri and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches and what online work looks like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person as an individual. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and behavior change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns of emotional response and helps people notice and shift those patterns to improve how they relate to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Robert will help clients choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He encourages a collaborative process where methods are adjusted if they don’t feel like a good fit.
He prefers video sessions because they allow fuller interaction, and he recommends ongoing written journaling between meetings to reinforce what is learned. If you want to know which specific formats are available now, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients practice tools in their daily life between meetings.
