About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing anger, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports men navigating parenting, career strain, grief, ADHD, and the stresses that come with major life changes. His approach includes practical coaching alongside therapy when helpful.
He brings 17 years of clinical experience from inpatient and outpatient settings. That background includes work with adolescents and adults on behavior change, mood concerns, communication problems, and trauma-related issues. He draws on a range of therapy styles to match what each person needs.
Colby keeps a welcoming, down-to-earth counseling style. He aims to treat people with respect and without judgment. Sessions are meant to be adaptive - communication and goals shift to fit the client's situation.
He describes his role in several ways: guide, coach, teacher, and cheerleader. He also offers tools clients can use between sessions to manage emotions, improve relationships, and handle everyday stressors. He is direct when honesty will help progress.
People who reach out can expect a practical, person-centered process that balances support with challenge. Colby works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, co-morbidity, codependency, caregiver stress, and other complex situations. He aims to help people make steady, realistic changes over time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people who need a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, mixes skills training with emotional regulation and helps when strong emotions and relationship difficulties cause repeated problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques are most useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make regular practice of skills between sessions more convenient. Licensed professionals can work with people across locations, and the therapist will help tailor sessions to each person's routine and goals.
