About Gale
Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and guilt and shame. Gale works with adults 21 and older and accepts clients in Missouri and some international clients.
Gale began counseling after a long career in other fields and after raising her children. She completed a master’s degree in counseling and moved into practice, combining professional training with decades of life experience. She emphasizes listening first and aims to understand what brought a person into therapy before choosing how to proceed.
Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-based techniques, with elements of Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy when useful. She describes these as tools to identify the real problem and to build practical ways to manage difficult feelings and situations.
In sessions Gale focuses on clear, honest communication. She encourages people to speak freely about their thoughts and needs. She does not judge and works with clients to identify therapy goals and steps to reach them.
Gale has worked with a wide range of people over her career, including military families, refugees and immigrants, incarcerated individuals and their families, and couples and individuals seeking change. That breadth of experience informs how she talks through challenges and supports clients in day-to-day coping.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s concerns back so the person feels understood. It helps when someone is sorting out guilt, relationship worries, or decisions because the conversation is driven by what the client brings to the session.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive patterns. DBT techniques can be used to practice specific coping steps for shame, anger, or anxiety during remote sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and bodily experience. Simple mindfulness exercises can help people notice how guilt or shame shows up in thought and feeling, and then try small changes to respond differently.
Choosing the right approach is part of how Gale works. She listens to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and then suggests which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.
