About Gale
Gale Green is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 20 years of counseling experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, anger, self-esteem, addictions, grief, depression, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Gale also lists family of origin 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 shifted into counseling full time. Her background includes work with a wide range of people, including military families, refugees and immigrants, incarcerated individuals and their families, and everyday couples and adults looking to improve their lives.
In sessions Gale emphasizes listening first. She uses that listening to identify what the client sees as the main issue. She then works with the person to choose practical steps they can try between meetings. She avoids judgment and stresses honest, direct communication about goals and obstacles.
Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Gale describes these approaches as tools to help find what works for each person rather than fixed prescriptions.
Gale works with adults age 21 and older. She accepts clients in Missouri and people living outside the United States. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to see if the fit feels right.
How Gale’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client’s priorities and feelings, and the therapist mirrors back what she hears to help clarify concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can help with relationship conflict, anger, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety and grief.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Gale will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using skills practice one week and trauma-focused techniques another week, depending on what the client says is most pressing.
