Colby (CJ) Green

Colby (CJ) Green is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addiction, and identity concerns. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, career questions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and the everyday strain of coping with life changes.

Green brings 17 years of clinical experience across inpatient and outpatient settings. He has worked with adolescents and adults and has experience with behavior change, mood disorders, and communication challenges. His background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and a range of personality and attachment challenges.

His style is welcoming and adaptive. He focuses on respect and compassion and aims to meet people where they are without judgment. He describes his role as a guide, coach, teacher, and cheerleader, offering practical tools as well as conversational support.

In sessions he blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and emotion-focused work. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when they help the person’s goals. The work is collaborative and geared toward clear, usable steps people can try between sessions.

Colby works from Missouri as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. He meets people in English and is able to work with clients outside the United States. To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches you can expect and how online work fits

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be useful for strong mood swings and impulse control.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods best match goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes the plan feel tailored rather than fixed.

Check the session options before booking to confirm which online formats are currently offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online work also lets people continue steady progress when schedules or location change. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises so clients can practice skills between sessions and see real, practical results over time.
