About Richard
Richard Roe is a licensed professional counselor who brings 26 years of clinical experience to conversations about life’s hard moments. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He offers straightforward, respectful care and aims to meet people where they are.
He uses Narrative Therapy to help clients tell and reshape the stories they live by. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. Richard adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs. This might mean working on sleep and eating routines, tackling impulsivity or substance use, or addressing body image and self-esteem.
He also helps with career stress, caregiver strain, chronic pain and the emotional effects of illness. Attachment issues and abandonment come up for many people, and he uses approaches that look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior. He can support someone dealing with divorce, separation, or midlife transitions and the complicated feelings that follow.
Work often includes skill-building for communication and emotion regulation. He aims for a collaborative, down-to-earth style. The conversation is tailored to each client, and goals are set together.
People who want practical steps and clearer stories about their lives will find his approach accessible.

Using Narrative and Action-oriented Approaches Online
Richard blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to help people change the stories that shape their lives. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories a person tells about themselves and helps separate problems from identity, useful for concerns like shame, identity, and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult feelings, which can aid anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships influence emotional reactions and communication, which is helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and trust issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, adjusting the plan as you go. Together you’ll pick strategies that feel practical and realistic rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls are easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
