About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, grief, addictions, and other life changes. He sees adults and adolescents and has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Colby keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people pick a few clear steps to try between meetings. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to address thoughts, feelings, and patterns that get in the way.
Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on skills that can be used right away. Colby will offer feedback that is direct but respectful, and he adjusts his approach as work progresses. He also brings experience with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress when those subjects come up.
People often come for help with communication problems, commitment or codependency struggles, coping after loss or separation, and managing intense mood or anger. Colby can also support those dealing with professional burnout, compassion fatigue, and life transitions that feel overwhelming.
He encourages a practical approach to therapy - learning new skills, practicing them between sessions, and checking what works. Prospective clients who want clear steps and honest feedback may find this style useful.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel understood and involved in setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns, which is often useful for anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with anger, intense moods, and coping under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustment happens over time based on what helps and what feels manageable, so the plan evolves through collaboration.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care when life changes or during transitions, while the therapist helps apply the same CBT and DBT skills used in face-to-face settings.
