Colby (CJ) Green

Colby (CJ) Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people managing anger and related struggles. He works with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Many people seek him out for anger, communication problems, and feeling stuck during transitions.

He brings 17 years of clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. That experience includes work with adolescents and adults across mood, behavior, and trauma-related concerns. Colby uses a straightforward and respectful style that aims to meet each person where they are.

His approach adapts to the person in the room. He draws on client-centered methods to build collaboration, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior techniques for managing strong emotions. He also uses emotionally-focused and existential ideas when those perspectives fit a person's goals.

In sessions Colby combines coaching, teaching, and practical tools with open conversation. He aims to be honest and encouraging, offering feedback people may need rather than what sounds easy. The goal is to create useful skills people can apply outside the therapy hour.

Colby describes his style as welcoming and without judgment. He works to set clear communication and treatment expectations that adjust to each person's needs. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration. Online sessions using this approach aim to create a respectful space where a person leads the topics and the therapist reflects and supports choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to test and change patterns; it often involves homework and action steps that translate well to remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills that help when anger or intense reactions arise and can be practiced between appointments.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress unfolds. That teamwork helps make sure techniques are relevant and usable in daily life.

Specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep consistent practice between meetings. Therapists can assign exercises, review progress, and teach emotion regulation and communication skills in ways that fit a person’s routine, helping turn session insights into real-world changes.
