Robert Mace , LPC

Robert Mace guides clients through a practical, back-to-basics approach to personal change that he summarizes with the simple motto Keep It Simple. He helps people who want to complete patterns that no longer serve them and redirect that freed energy into new directions. His work emphasizes short, teachable exercises that clients can practice between sessions to build lasting Self-Therapy skills and greater independence.

With a long history of studying and using different counseling styles, he distilled his experience into a straightforward program: listen to the client story, introduce a focused exercise to address the problem, and practice until the skill becomes part of the client’s routine. That cycle of listening, learning, and practicing is central to his method and to the goal of empowering clients to manage their own growth.

A touch of humor and creative work often accompanies his sessions to make change more approachable. He favors live video sessions for richer interaction while encouraging ongoing asynchronous messaging or journaling to support progress between meetings. He holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and frames therapy as a collaborative, skills-based journey toward simpler, more effective ways of living.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Skill Building

Robert Mace uses client-centered work to create a supportive, collaborative setting where the client’s concerns guide the process. This approach emphasizes active listening and respect for the client’s goals, making it useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, grief, and major life transitions.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaching clear, practiceable skills to change emotions and behaviors. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive or compulsive behaviors.

Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple mindfulness practices can support clients struggling with stress, sleep problems, chronic pain, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, using short exercises and practice outside sessions to reinforce progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video provides a close, interactive format he prefers, while messaging and chat allow continuous support and journaling between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain consistent practice of the skills learned together.
