About Robert
Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience helping people simplify hard parts of life. He frames therapy as a practical process: listen to what’s difficult, teach a few concrete tools, and practice until those tools become habits. He emphasizes straightforward steps and encourages clients to build their own ongoing self-therapy skills.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and related concerns.
Background and approach
He also addresses issues like sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and chronic pain or illness. The language in sessions is plain and direct so people can use what they learn quickly. His style blends Narrative therapy with client-centered listening and brief, skill-focused work.
Sessions often start with a client’s story and move into small exercises to change unhelpful patterns. He aims to keep interventions simple so they fit into daily life. Humor and creativity may appear in sessions when appropriate.
He encourages asynchronous messaging or journaling between meetings to reinforce practice. While he prefers video sessions for fuller communication, he also offers phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats. Robert practices in Missouri and holds LPC credentials in Missouri and Texas.

Online session options
Approaches in online sessions and how they help
Robert uses Narrative therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their days. This approach examines how personal narratives influence feelings and choices and supports new, more helpful ways to describe difficult experiences.He also draws on Client-Centered therapy, which centers the person's own experience. That means listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and creating space for people to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for targeted, practical skill building when thoughts and behaviors need to change quickly, as with anxiety, sleep problems, or addictive patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then try methods that fit each person’s needs. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan, keeping the focus on simple, repeatable practices rather than complex techniques.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client read nonverbal cues and have fuller conversations, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling-style reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills consistently and keep therapy integrated with daily life.
