About Gale

Gale Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who works with adults 21 and older. She approaches people with steady listening and practical support. Gale aims to help clients name what matters, set clear goals, and take manageable steps toward change.

Gale began counseling after many years in other careers and after raising her children. She returned to school to earn a Master of Arts degree and then moved into counseling full time. Over two decades as an LPC in Missouri, she has worked with a wide range of life situations and challenges.

Her practice draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she listens first, then helps people identify what is driving their stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or other struggles. She uses straightforward strategies as part of a plan people can try between visits.

Gale also brings life experience with families, military households, refugees and immigrants, and people affected by incarceration. That background informs her approach to problems like addiction, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and complex family dynamics.

She emphasizes honesty and collaboration. Clients can expect a calm listener who asks clear questions, offers practical tools, and helps them test new ways of coping. People who want a grounded, experience-based counselor often find this approach helpful.

How Gale’s approaches translate to online therapy

Gale uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult experiences in a paced, supportive way, focusing on safety, grounding, and manageable steps for healing. She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and tailoring sessions to what the person says they need. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work as concrete tools for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gale collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will adjust the mix of trauma-focused strategies, client-centered listening, and DBT skills as the client's needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offer quicker check-ins when needed, and allow people to use methods like mindfulness or DBT skills practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused and skills-based work to remote sessions while helping people build new habits that carry into daily life.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
