About Gale
Gale Green is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, anger, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, depression, and coping with life changes. Gale uses straightforward listening first and then helps people identify the issues they brought to counseling.
Gale decided to become a counselor after a long career in other fields and after her children were grown. She completed a master’s degree and began a second career in counseling, combining professional training with decades of life experience. That background shapes how she engages with people and how she listens to what matters most to them.
Her practice has included work with a wide range of adults, including active duty military families, refugees and immigrants, incarcerated individuals and their families, and people seeking practical changes in their everyday lives. She emphasizes listening and clear, honest communication as the starting point for any work together.
Gale draws on client-centered approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to guide sessions. She explains each approach in plain terms and then chooses parts that fit the person sitting across from her.
She requests that clients be 21 or older and notes she works with people who live in Missouri and some international locations. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session to figure out goals and a plan.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In this approach the therapist reflects what a person says and helps them clarify their own goals, which can make conversations feel more direct and practical for social anxiety or relationship worries.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, brings concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. Those skills can be practiced and reviewed in sessions, and then applied to real-life social situations step by step.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can help with nervousness in public settings or intense emotional reactions during interactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Gale will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting over time as needs change.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, practice conversational exposure, and plan homework that fits into everyday life.
