Keep it Simple!
Over several decades of studying and practicing a variety of counseling styles, I came to the conclusion that there is not just one “correct” way to understand human behavior. Each path has a unique focus, but no single framework could claim to deal with the wide variety of problems and challenges that people faced.
During those years, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and so forth.
However, while the theories of psychotherapy were getting MORE complicated, the daily practice of working with the clients actually became simpler! I began to create a simple program that demonstrated that search for simplicity. With my current BetterHelp clients, we started to call this program “the Four SuperPowers”!
Step One: listen to the client’s challenging stories
Step Two: teach a simple exercise (superpower) to address those challenges
Step Three: practice, and then repeat the first two steps!
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a licensed school teacher and counselor, I had always been a counselor at heart. Long before “Mindfulness” became popular, I served as the "Relaxation Therapist", having devised a pretty simple, yet universal, set of basic exercises to calm down any and all clients in the facilities in which I worked.
My counseling sessions might combine the standard "Western" therapy models with more universal techniques. Also, a touch of humor and artistic creativity can be very helpful in the process.
I look forward to traveling that Search for Simplicity with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:

Bob is really accommodating and easy to work with. He provides a safe space where I feel I can work on myself without fear of judgement.
Mr. Mace is an amazing Therapist. He listens, gives me advice, and gives me assignments to help me understand.
Bob has changed my life!
I was very skeptical of BetterHelp, in general, but I can now say that the system worked & matched me with the right person! It was strange and uncomfortable at first, but after just a few weeks I am in a much better place. I am confident that I will respond to the next round of life's challenges in a new way. Bob didn't need to get too deep in to every little aspect of my life. He was able to quickly extract the essence of my concerns and provide techniques to help right away. The "super powers" he teaches help me to make sense of myself, and of the world. His approach to (metaphorically) teach me how to fish is perfectly suited to this BetterHelp platform. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn something new.
Robert Mace is an amazing therapist. He listens and understands my feelings. He gives out great advice. He also gives out exercises to do when under stress.
An intuitive and diverse counsellor with the ability to suggest practical constructive and transformative action which works wonders in your life.
My primary care physician feels comfortable that I am dealing with my mental health with Bob. He is laid back, knowledgeable, can change the approach to a situation smoothly and is just the right amount of personable.
