Gale Green

Gale Green is an LPC who helps adults facing grief, relationship strain, anxiety, and major life changes. She welcomes people who are ready to talk about stress, coping, addiction, caregiver strain, illness, or family conflict. Gale aims to listen first and understand each person's situation before offering direction.

She began counseling after raising her children and returning to school for a master’s degree. Gale has worked for about 20 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. Her background includes many different life and work experiences that inform how she connects with people in the room.

Gale uses clear, practical methods rather than jargon. She focuses on understanding what brought someone to therapy and then helps them identify achievable steps forward. Sessions emphasize honest conversation, respect, and steady support while people work toward their goals.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and coping with chronic illness. She also helps with family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and concerns that arise after cancer or during aging.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that combines person-centered listening with skills-based tools when appropriate. Gale draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to fit the person in front of her.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and following the client’s lead; it helps people feel heard while they talk through grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills that are useful for anger, anxiety, and intense emotions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gale will listen to your concerns, discuss what matters most to you, and together decide which methods to emphasize. That decision can shift over time as goals change or progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know how Gale is meeting with clients now. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or DBT skills in real life between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques for remote use so you still learn concrete skills and get supportive conversation without needing to rearrange large parts of your day.
