Robert Mace , LPC

Robert Mace brings three decades of counseling experience to a practice built around one clear principle - keep it simple. He works with people who want to clear out old patterns and redirect that released energy toward fresh directions in life. Using the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential, he blends assessment with a small set of practical tools that clients can learn and use independently to support ongoing growth.

His process centers on listening to a client’s challenging stories, teaching a focused self-therapy exercise, and then practicing that exercise until it becomes useful in daily life. Over many years of study and practice he refined this rhythm into a straightforward program that aims to cultivate a dependable set of self-therapy skills. A light touch of humor and occasional artistic creativity are woven into the work when they serve the therapeutic goals.

Robert favors real-time video sessions because they allow the richest exchange, while also encouraging asynchronous messaging and journaling between meetings. He routinely schedules sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and invites clients who are ready to commit to a series of learning-focused sessions to explore this simple, skills-based approach from a collaborative stance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Practice

Robert Mace integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to create a pragmatic online therapy experience. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore personal goals and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills and exercises to change patterns in mood and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that support emotional regulation and coping with difficult sensations or repetitive thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robert works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of strategies fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to learn brief, repeatable exercises that they can use between sessions.

Online sessions offer flexibility - video calls allow for rich, face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give additional options for connection and ongoing practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain steady momentum between meetings.
