About Gale

Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and addiction. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

Gale began counseling after a long career in other fields and after raising her children. She completed a master’s degree and moved into counseling, bringing decades of life experience to her work. Her practice serves adults age 21 and older in Missouri and some international clients.

In sessions she puts listening first. She says that understanding a person’s story is the starting point for identifying what to work on. Conversations tend to focus on what is most pressing and practical steps to reduce distress or improve relationships.

Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-based methods among others. She explains these as tools to help identify problems and build ways to manage or reduce them rather than as labels for people.

Gale emphasizes straightforward, honest communication during therapy. She does not judge and aims to help people name what brought them to counseling and then work toward clear goals. If you are an adult navigating life changes, relationship strain, or the complexities of blended households, she may be a practical option to consider.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from your own goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to sort out feelings and clarify what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving how you handle conflict and stress. Mindfulness-based methods help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them and can reduce anxiety and reactivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new issues appear.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins by phone when that suits the person. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills practice and mindfulness exercises to remote conversation, and motivational interviewing can be used to clarify change goals during virtual sessions. Please verify the exact session formats offered when you schedule.
