Gale Green, LPC

Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings twenty years of clinical experience and many decades of life experience to her work. She embarked on her counseling career later in life after her children were grown, returning to school to complete a master’s degree and then leaving her previous career to pursue counseling full time. Over the course of her practice, she has supported a wide range of people and families, including active duty military families, refugees and immigrants who fled war and torture, incarcerated individuals and their families, and everyday couples and families seeking practical change.

Gale blends professional training with a client-centered, empathetic approach that prioritizes listening first. Her therapeutic toolbox includes client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapy, and she tailors these approaches to meet each person’s needs. She aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where honesty and collaboration guide the work of identifying goals and finding strategies to manage or reduce the concerns that brought a person to counseling.

Gale specializes in stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, anger, self-esteem concerns, addictions, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, and coping with life transitions. She also addresses related areas such as abandonment, attachment and family-of-origin issues, blended-family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness work, and guilt or shame.

Gale is currently accepting adult clients age 21 and older who reside in the state of Missouri or who live in countries outside the United States. As an LPC in Missouri, she combines clinical skill with practical life perspective to help adults navigate change and pursue clearer, more manageable next steps.
