Gale Green, LPC

Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She transitioned into counseling later in life after raising her children and returning to school, then taking early retirement to pursue a long-held goal of working with individuals and families. Over two decades she has provided care to a wide range of people, including active duty military families, refugees and immigrants who fled war and torture, incarcerated individuals and their families, as well as couples and households seeking to improve communication and wellbeing.

Gale combines professional training and licensing with many decades of life experience, which inform her empathic and grounded approach. She places listening at the center of her work, believing that careful attention is the first step to understanding what a person needs and how to move forward. Her style is supportive and nonjudgmental, focused on helping clients identify their goals and the obstacles that stand in the way.

Gale draws on client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches as frameworks to explore problems and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and other life challenges. She aims to collaborate with each client to develop strategies tailored to their situation and values.

At this time Gale is accepting clients aged 21 and older who reside in Missouri or in countries outside the United States. She is open to working with international clients and offers multiple remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches matched to online care

Gale Green uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist supports their personal goals. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns by focusing on the client’s own values and priorities.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills training in areas such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is especially useful for clients managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of reactivity.

Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical practices to reduce stress and improve focus. It can help people coping with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and challenges related to life transitions.

Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gale collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance ensures therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Gale is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for differing schedules, mobility needs, and time zones. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
