Gale Green , LPC

Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (L.P.C.) who combines formal training with decades of life experience to support adults facing a wide range of challenges. She holds an M.A., which denotes a master’s degree, and maintains her LPC credential as a Missouri-licensed counselor. After raising her children and working in a variety of fields, she returned to school, completed graduate studies, and began a second career in counseling, taking early retirement from other work to focus on helping people.

Over the course of roughly 20 years practicing as an LPC in Missouri, she has worked with active duty military families, refugees and immigrants who fled war and torture, incarcerated individuals and their families, and everyday couples and families seeking to improve relationships and cope with life changes. She brings empathy shaped by professional training and rich life experience, and she emphasizes careful listening as the foundation for treatment. Listening, nonjudgmental support, and honest collaboration guide her work.

Gale uses client-centered, eclectic, and dialectical behavior therapy approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. These methods help identify core concerns, develop practical coping strategies, and create a therapeutic plan that fits the client’s goals. She is accepting new clients aged 21 and older who live in Missouri or in other countries, and she welcomes those who are seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, addictions, self-esteem, and other life transitions.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Gale draws on client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective and goals guide each session. This approach emphasizes empathy and listening to help people clarify their concerns and determine what matters most to them.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT tools can be especially helpful for those working on anger, self-regulation, and interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gale works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors methods and pacing so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging for sessions and check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
