Gale Green , LPC

Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor who shifted into counseling after a long career in other industries and once her children were grown. She returned to school to earn a master’s degree and took early retirement to begin a new chapter as a counselor. Over two decades of practice in Missouri have shaped her approach and deepened her understanding of the challenges people face.

She has worked with a wide range of people and family systems, including active duty military families, refugees and immigrants who fled war and torture, incarcerated individuals and their families, and couples and families seeking practical ways to improve their lives. Alongside formal training and licensure, she draws on many years of life experience to inform her empathy and attunement to where clients are in their lives.

Gale places listening at the center of her work and emphasizes empathy, honesty, and nonjudgmental support. She uses client-centered methods along with an eclectic mix of techniques, including dialectical behavior therapy, to help clients identify the core issues that brought them to counseling and to create a roadmap for change. Her communication style is collaborative - she works with clients to clarify goals, name obstacles, and choose strategies that fit their needs and values.

She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which indicates a state license to practice counseling. Gale is accepting clients who are 21 and older and is available to work with people in Missouri as well as clients residing outside the United States.

Client-Centered Care, DBT, and Mindfulness in Online Therapy

Gale Green draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients’ values and goals guide the work - this approach emphasizes active listening and supporting each person’s autonomy while exploring life changes, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers structured skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing reactive behaviors, which can be helpful for anger, addiction-related struggles, and relationship conflict. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and grounding techniques that reduce stress and support coping with anxiety, trauma responses, and transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gale works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she blends methods when that best serves progress. Together the client and therapist decide which strategies to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility to fit work, family, and lifestyle demands, and they allow clients in Missouri and abroad to receive consistent support without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools effectively across these formats to help clients move toward their goals.
