About Gale
Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strain, addiction, or big life changes. Gale aims to listen first and match support to each person's needs.
Gale began counseling after a long career in other fields and after her children were grown. She earned a master’s degree and holds an MO LPC. Her varied life experience is something she brings into sessions alongside professional training.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying the real problem, building skills to cope, and finding clearer ways to move forward. Gale emphasizes honesty and open communication so goals are realistic and meaningful.
Gale uses a mix of approaches to fit the person in front of her rather than following one single method. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping skills, and Trauma-Focused methods when past events are getting in the way.
People meet with Gale to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and questions around identity and intimacy. She works with adults age 21 and older and accepts clients who reside in Missouri or in other countries outside the USA.
If someone wants to begin, Gale asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to talk. She supports therapy by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging so sessions can fit into busy lives.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard, which can be especially helpful for anxiety and relationship concerns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those are often taught in short exercises and homework that work well through video or text-based formats.
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address how past events affect current life and functioning. It uses structured techniques to reduce the hold of painful memories and to build newer coping habits.
Gale treats the selection of an approach as a joint process. She listens to what a person needs, discusses possible methods, and adjusts the plan as goals change. That collaborative stance helps people feel involved in choosing what will be most useful.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options let people keep continuity of care even when schedules or locations make in-person visits hard.
