About Robert

Robert Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience who guides people toward clearer, more manageable lives by keeping the work straightforward and practical. He emphasizes a "Keep It Simple" philosophy that focuses on assessing a person’s current situation, teaching a small set of practical tools, and supporting regular practice so clients build lasting self-therapy skills that they can use independently.

Over three decades of practice have led him to distill therapeutic methods into a concise program: listen to the challenges a person brings, introduce a focused exercise that addresses those concerns, and then practice and refine that exercise over time. This stepwise, skill-based approach aims to free energy tied up in unresolved patterns so it can be redirected toward new directions and goals.

Humor and creative expression often appear in his sessions as complementary ways to shift perspective and encourage growth. He prefers video sessions because they best support the quality of interaction, and he encourages around-the-clock asynchronous messaging and journaling as tools for ongoing work between meetings. Session days are typically Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As an LPC he brings clinical training and long experience to a practical, client-centered process that emphasizes learning, practice, and independence.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Robert Mace uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, respectful space where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on listening and collaboration so that people feel understood and can build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching concrete strategies to change them - it is often applied to issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and basic attentional skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, chronic pain, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Robert treats that as a collaborative effort. He will work with each person to determine which methods or combination of methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions are preferred for richer interaction, while messaging and phone options allow continuity between meetings and support steady practice of the tools learned in therapy.
