Colby (CJ) Green, LPC

Colby (CJ) Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and stress. He practices in Missouri and draws on 17 years of clinical work to support people dealing with life changes, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, career questions, and trauma or abuse.

His style is warm and adaptable. He aims to treat people with respect and without judgment. Sessions are practical and focused on the problems someone brings in that day.

Colby blends straightforward conversation with hands-on tools. He uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s goals. He also draws from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused ideas when emotions and relationships need direct attention.

Clients can expect clear communication about goals and what comes next. Colby will offer feedback that may be honest and direct, while also coaching and teaching coping skills. He plans treatment together with each person so the work fits their life and priorities.

His background includes inpatient and outpatient settings and work with adolescents and adults. That breadth informs how he tailors tools and strategies to different situations. He aims to leave people with practical skills they can use after sessions end.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Colby commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress and to practice different responses. CBT focuses on clear steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions and applied to daily problems.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on each person’s goals and preferences and supports people through listening, reflection, and collaborative planning. When emotions run high or skills for managing intense feelings are needed, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used to teach grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colby collaborates with each person to decide which strategies fit their needs, goals, and life circumstances. He adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
